Minimum requirements for automated peak finding are stated. Methods for measuring the full-energy peak efficiency with calibrated sources are given. Performance tests that ascertain the proper functioning of the Ge spectrometer and evaluate the limitations of the algorithms used for locating and fitting single and multiple peaks are described. Methods for the measurement of and the correction for pulse pileup are suggested. Techniques are recommended for the inspection of spectral-analysis results for large errors resulting from summing of cascade gamma rays in the detector. Suggestions are provided for the establishment of data libraries for radionuclide identification, decay corrections, and the conversion of gamma-ray rates to decay rates. 517 $aANSI Std N42.14-1991 606 $aGermanium diodes$xStandards 615 0$aGermanium diodes$xStandards. 676 $a621.381522 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aDOCUMENT 912 $a9910135781103321 996 $aANSI Std N42.14-1991$93646494 997 $aUNINA
