    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Physics
    • Spectroscopy

    Context:

    • Gamma ray spectrum analysis is crucial for identifying radioactive isotopes and quantifying their abundance.
    • Traditional smoothing techniques like Savitzky's convolution can struggle with complex spectra, particularly those with broad peaks or low counts.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel one-pass smoothing method for gamma ray spectra using piecewise cubic polynomials.
    • To compare the effectiveness of this new method against established techniques, such as Savitzky's convolution.

    Summary:

    • The one-pass method divides spectrum regions into intervals, fitting each with a least-squares calculated cubic polynomial.
    • It successfully smoothed simulated photoelectric peaks (FWHM > 10 channels) and low-count spectra (approx. 100 counts/channel).
    • Results demonstrate superior performance compared to Savitzky's convolution for large FWHM peaks and Compton regions.
