In this example I only weighted the histogram by the mass of the sample, which in the case of the pure selenium sample is 0.0971g.

Using this method there seemed to be a problem with the background. When finding the error in the counts, sometimes the value was negative. Below is the example of the last timed run where 4840 < t < 5130

Here you can see that the total number of counts in the window is 289400, while the integral of the background, which is found in the terminal is 57459.7. So we have a difference of 231940.3 counts. The expanded window is shown below.

Now here it is shown that the total number of counts within the window is 304500 counts, while on the terminal we can see that the integral of the background is 72660.2 counts, which gives a difference of 231839.8 counts. Subtracting these two numbers to find the error in the number of counts, we find that

[math] Expanded Counts - Original Counts = 231839.2 - 231940.3 = -100.8 counts [/math]
