Multiplets deconvolution

Blaaw, M. (1993). Multiplet deconvolution as a cause of unstable results in gamma-ray spectrometry for INAA, Nuct. Instr. Meth. Phys. Res., A, 333, 548-552. 

Ejf. as defined by the absorption of radiation in the detector, in absorbers placed between sample and detector and in the sample itself. This model can also be expanded to account for spectral artifacts that are generated in the sohd-state detector. In Fig. 11.28, the result of non-hnear deconvolution of the complex multiplets constituted by the W-Lj, L2 and Lj-Unes is shown. 

For fiuctose, whose peaks are all in the fiizzy part of spectra, picking a relevant peak was more complex. The multiplet at 4.10 - 4.11 ppm (P-C4H, p-C3H, a-C3H) was chosen as there was no theoretical peak overlapping with the present amino acids, organic acids or fiucto-oligosaccharides (mainly kestose and nystose). However, in this part of the spectrum the return to the baseline is not completely achieved, so that peak deconvolution was needed (see following 2.4.3).
