Abstract

DECHAOS is a gamma-ray spectral analysis program for personal computers. The program offers two modes of operation, automatic or interactive. The spectra to be analyzed can be acquired using any pulse height analyzer. The program includes routines for energy calibration, peak shape and efficiency calibration. Complex multiplets can be resolved automatically with the peak areas being determined using least-squares fitting techniques. Output tables include all data used in the calculation and peak information. The program is public domain software.
