1. NAME AND TITLE

DOMUS: A Program for Decomposing A Two-Dimensional Spectrum

2. CONTRIBUTOR

Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, Dubna, USSR, through NEA Data Bank, France.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran 77; IBM PC/XT; IBM PC/AT.

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

DOMUS was written for the purpose of decomposing a two-dimensional spectrum into its components. DOMUS is a two-dimensional version of UPEAK (PSR-300).

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The spectrum of nuclear reactions may be formally considered as a linear combination: s(x,y) = SUM((fi(x,y),i=1,n) + b(x,y) + e(x,y); where fi(x,y) is the i-th component of interest, b(x,y) is the background and e(x,y) is the statistical error with zero-valued mean and variance d(x,y); s(x,y) is the spectrum in two dimensions. Each measured component is regarded as a result of a transformation of its model m(x,y). The background is described by a second order surface. The method of least squares is used to determine the parameters in the equation.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

A maximum of 12 peaks in the spectrum interval can be used.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

At the NEA Data Bank, the sample problem took about 5 minutes on an IBM PC/AT with a math co-processor.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

IBM PC and compatibles with math co-processor.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The code was written in Fortran 77 and uses RM Fortran Version 2.42 or higher compiler. The PLINK86 overlay linker is also necessary.
