Abstract:
A method is proposed for stabilization of spectral data with arbitrary form. The method is based on the hypothesis that the successive measurements of a spectrum represent the same statistical distribution but in different X-scales. The transformation between X-scales is found by calculation of the moments of the distributions. It can be further used for either recalculation of the spectral data in order to be processed together, or as a feedback signal for online stabilization of the data acquisition system. The calculations are extremely simple in the case of a linear transformation between both X-scales; in that case they can be performed directly on a microcontroller. The method is illustrated for long series of spectral records of the gamma-radiation using scintillation detectors.
