Abstract

A new fast method is used to analyze positron annihilation lifetime spectra. The regularization procedure to solve the inverse problem of finding parameters of useful signals present in the data is formulated. A new approach to determine the number of components in a spectrum is proposed. Results on simulated spectra demonstrate the high resolution capability of the method.
