Event sorting methods of γ-ray spectroscopic data

The paper presents several sorting methods of γ-ray events which were implemented in the data acquisition, processing and visualization system, developed at the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The sorting methods using various shapes of gates (conditions) are presented, including rectangular windows, polygons, gates defined by arithmetic functions, spherical, ellipsoidal and composed gates. The examples illustrating the use of these methods are presented as well.
