Master Fit users' guide. Version 1. 0. [For fitting pulse-height spectra]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5542746
Master Fit is a computer program for analyzing digitized pulse-height spectra consisting of discrete peaks superimposed on a continuous background, such as occur in nuclear physics. The program has capabilities for spectral plotting, peak finding, peak fitting, and data calibration. The peak finding section uses a second difference smoothing routine, along with other parameters, to locate the gaussian peaks within the spectrum. The program has a skewed-gaussian fitting algorithm to calculate the intensity and energy of a peak from the area and centroid of the peak. The user may choose to store results of selected fits on a calibration data spectrum for a final calibration of peak shape parameters to be determined. Instructions are provided for the execution of the program and for the use of each of the program features. (LEW)
