Abstract

The optimum condition for setting the single channel analyzer /SCA/ has been studied with respect to the time required for data acquisition in Mössbauer spectroscopy. It has been found that, regardless what the peak height to background ratio may be, for most practical purposes the best point to cut off the constant background is where the intensity of the Mössbauer peak drops to about 20% of its full height.
