Abstract

A silicon surface‐barrier detector may be evaluated by determining certain parameters from a fission fragment energy spectrum recorded by that detector. This paper describes the computer program ANLZE which determines these spectrum parameters in a consistent manner by using a combination of smoothing and fitting routines in the analysis of the data. The effect of the statistical uncertainty of the data on the values of the parameters determined by the program is discussed for various fitting procedures.
