Abstract:

The peak detection criteria (D) is defined in IDC RN analysis software SAINT to identify peaks in spectra. If D >= 1.0 peaks are confirmed and if D < 1.0 peaks not confirmed. Many peaks with D around 1 in RN particulate spectra make the spectra analysis and nuclide associations very difficult. Cases of peaks identification with D around 1 may result in missing nuclide detections or false positive nuclide detections. In this paper some cases of spectra analysis and laboratory reanalysis are summarized.
