Abstract

An analysis method for the output of a multichannel analyzer is described. The data are fitted by a least squares computer program that will determine the area under Gaussian distributions which may be only partially resolved or separated. Mathematical considerations are discussed. Examples of various fits are shown illustrating the capabilities and some of the operational difficulties involved.
