Description

This work discusses the relative merits of parabolic, linear, or step background functions under the photopeak in a SAMPO type fitting algorithm used in the Canberra APOGEE package for a PDP-11 or a VAX-11 minicomputer. Four different variations of the background are subjected to a statistical test of precision under stable measurement conditions and investigated for their behaviour as a function of count rate.
