Abstract
The application of a discrete, fast-Fourier-transformation algorithm t o multiply-gated gamma-ray spectra enhances low intensity components, removes high-frequency noise, and increases the signal-to-background r atio. This method is preferable to a three-point smoothing technique f or low- and medium-intensity peaks.
