Determination of Gamma-Ray Abundance in Photopeaks with Analytic and Numeric Approaches via CERN’s ROOT Analysis Framework
Abstract
For years in gamma-ray spectrometry, there has been numerious numeric methods implemented and dedicated to integrate the photopeak areas. With the advance of new technology and softwares, determination of peak areas have been digitized. In addition, new statistical approaches have given diverse perspectives in analysing the experimental data. In this case study, Maestro software was used to extract the experimental gamma-ray data from radioactive 60Co source. In general, analysts have been challenged by the calculation of background area under certain gamma-ray peaks when there is especially low counts. For instance, this problem lead them to find different net area values in various accuracies for the same peak. Therefore the precision of determination based on different statistics might affect the results. The systematic error, which is caused by the shapes and models of the background estimation, has been investigated by CERN’s ROOT software. This detailed analysis of digital data from NaI(Tl) scintaillation detector has been tabulated with its comparisons in various modern analytic methods and numeric approaches dated back to 1960s and 1970s.
