Abstract
A new method of searching peaks in gamma spectra is proposed. The meth od makes use of the well known Sterlinski's algorithm. The number prop ortional to peak area and the variance of this number (from the Sterli nski's method) are used in the criterion selecting ''true'' peaks. A c omparison of performance in searching single and multiple peaks of the proposed method and others frequently used in practice shows a better quality of our method.
