Model functions of peak fitting
HyperLab's several model functions together describe the measured counts in gamma spectra taken with semiconductor detectors. These model functions are originated from their simplified HYPERMET variants, but re-implemented with up-to-date techniques.
Model functions may be either peak type functions – Gaussian, Left Skew and Right Skew –, or  background type functions: Polynomial, Step and Tail. Peak functions are summed up, resulting in the peak areas, which are reported to the spectroscopist. The basic idea behind the deconvolution is a nonlinear fitting algorithm, which adjust free parameters between well-defined limits, thus achieving a good agreement between the measured counts and the sum of all background and all peak functions.
The following sections will describe the individual peak function in greater detail.
