HYPERMET PC is a user-friendly gamma -ray spectrum analysis software packag
e developed at Budapest, mainly for the purpose of prompt-gamma neutron act
ivation analysis (PGAA). The peak fitting algorithm is an improved version
of the well-known HYPERMET code, and contains a partial peak-parameter cali
bration to describe peak shapes more accurately in the wide energy range ty
pical for prompt-gamma spectre A nuclide identification routine has also be
en developed using a new PGAA library, shown in a parallel paper. The new m
odule for quantitative PGAA includes all the features necessary to obtain c
oncentration values for elements.
