PSR-0085 NAISAP.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  NAISAP.

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

NAISAP analyses the NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrum and other types of spectra to determine the energies and intensities of the peaks detected. The spectrum is plotted optionally.

4. METHODS

The analysis is carried out by the photopeak method on the basis of the NaI(Tl) response function represented in an analytical form. The peak search is based on the first derivative method accompanied with various peak shape tests. The usual least squares method is adopted for resolving the complex of peaks. Values of the parameters for constructing the NaI(Tl) response are stored as data for two detector sizes: 1-3/4" phi x 2" and 3" phi x 3."

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

NAISAP accepts a spectrum of a maximum of 1024 channels with up to 49 peaks. Response functions of detectors with dimensions different from those mentioned above must be given by the user in specifying the parameters as functions of the photon energy.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

NAISAP requires approximately one second for the analysis of each peak.
