The following is a portion of a gamma-ray pulse height spectrum recorded using a germanium detector and MCA:
It can be assumed that the data consist of a constant background plus a Gaussian-shaped peak. (a) Plot the data and estimate the constant background level. Find the net number of counts under the peak by direct summation. Estimate the centroid location of the peak (to the nearest tenth of a channel). Estimate the FWHM of the peak.
