An automatic data-processing technique for the high-pressure xenon γ-ray spectrometer

We describe an algorithm for radionuclide detection and identification by the gamma -ray spectra recorded with a high-pressure xenon gamma -ray spectrometer. The algorithm is based on the comparison of the measured spectra with the tabulated radionuclide data. The fitting criteria were formulated. The software package, implementing the algorithm and providing the execution of a complete cycle of gamma -ray spectrum processing, was developed. The algorithm usability and efficiency were demonstrated by testing it with actual spectra.
