Abstract
This paper presents a simplified convolution method for use in fitting the pulse-height spectra obtained by illuminating PbWO4 crystals with standard laboratory gamma -ray sources in order to determine the light yield of the crystals used in the construction of a high-energy physics experiment. This technique improves the speed of fitting the data with little diminution on the precision of the final result. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ ts reserved.
