Abstract:

A FORAST machine code was developed for the unfolding of gamma and neutron pulse height spectra measured by means of a stilbene crystal at two different electronic gain settings. The code utilizes spectrum stripping routines based on logical decisions, is self-adapting to the input data, and requires little machine time on the high-speed digital computer BRLESC. Author
