Background removal procedure based on the SNIP algorithm for γ-ray spectroscopy with the CAEN Educational Kit

November 12th, 2021| |CAEN Experiments, Particle Detectors Characterization

In gamma spectra the energy, the intensity and the number of resolved photo peaks depend on the detector resolution and the background from physics processes. A widely used method for subtracting the background under a photopeak is provided by the Sensitive Nonlinear Iterative Peak (SNIP) algorithm. This paper reports a validation procedure of the SNIP algorithm, based on the invariance of the photo-peak area for different background levels.
