he extraction and smoothing algorithms for γ-ray spectrum of a CdZnTe detector system

he extraction algorithms for pulse amplitude and smoothing of energy spectrum have a great influence on energy spectrum of γ-rays during the digital detection and analysis procedure. For a CdZnTe digital γ detector system, different extraction algorithms for pulse amplitude and smoothing of energy spectrum are discussed in this paper. The results show that extraction of pulse amplitude using the first-order derivative method and smoothing of energy spectrum using the wavelet transformation method may obtain energy spectrum with good performance.
