Abstract
Two analytical shape functions representing the shapes of gamma- and c haracteristics X-ray photopeak sides obtained with a Ge(Li) detector a re described. The photopeak centroid is accurately determined by using these functions. Energy dependence of photopeak tailing at the lower energy side of the photopeaks are obtained by the least-squares fittin g method. The present method can be used for the analysis of partly ov erlapped photopeaks, one side of which is well resolved, with a suffic ient accuracy.
