Abstract
A new method for checking the goodness-of-fit in gamma spectroscopy in proposed. Theoretical calculations are verified with the installation of the new formula into a gamma spectrum analysis program SAMPO78. The new method is clearly shown to be more sensitive in detecting irregular peak shapes and unsatisfactory fitting results than the usual χ2 per degrees of freedom test.
