Abstract :
A new method for unfolding γ-ray spectra is described. The method is based on the fact that the contribution of Compton scattered γ-rays in the spectra is a slowly varying function of energy. Thus, the Compton part can be smoothed and subtracted from the original observed spectrum giving an unfolded spectrum with the same statistical fluctuations as the observed spectrum. In particular, we show that the method works very well for poor statistics continuum γ-ray spectra.
