Abstract
A method to determine the photopeak position of the gamma absorption s pectrum of radioactive sources in low light yield scintillators as lea d tungstate is discussed. The method is based on the parametrization o f both the Compton and photoelectric contributions to the spectrum and it is proven to be reliable and to give stable and precise results.
