Abstract

To obtain precise information about characteristics of gamma ray detector system responses, we developed new GUI computer program to analize full-energy absorption peak using our developed Delphi computer code for educational purpose. By use of the well known 4 nonlinear peak shaping functions, peaks were fitted with least square fit method in this code. In this paper, we described the methods to search for 12 coefficients in above 4 nonlinear peak shaping functions by use of our developed code in details. The computer code was tested for 1 $\mu$Ci $^{137)Cs$ 661 keV gamma ray peak spectrum detected by 25 % relative efficiency HPGe detector with 5.35 cm (D) $\times$ 5.5 cm (L) size.

교육적 목적으로 감마선 검출기 계통의 특성에 대한 정보를 세밀하게 얻기 위하여, Delphi코드를 이용하여 전 에너지 흡수 피크 스펙트럼을 편리하게 분석할 수 있는 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스 방식의 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하였다. 피크는 4개의 비선형 모양함수를 사용하여 최소제곱법으로 적합하였다. 이들 4개의 비선형함수 속에 들어있는 12개의 계수값들을 사용자 인터페이스 화면에서 결정하는 과정을 상세히 서술하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 HPGe 검출기에서 측정된 1 $\mu$Ci 밀봉 점선원 $^{137)Cs$ 661KeV 감마선의 피크분석에 적용하여 계수값 탐색의 예를 예시하였다.
