Extract

Least squares computer programs have been used for the resolution of complex gamma-ray spectra obtained from NaI(Tl) detectors for many years. With the addition of computer codes, which account for the differences “between gamma-ray and x-ray fluorescence spectra, these same programs can be used to quantify energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence data.
