pyTailFit - A simple Python program enabling tail-fitting for the analysis of lifetime spectra using least-square optimzation.

Quickstart Guide (see example.py)

• import the 'pyTailFit' module

import pyTailFit as ptf

• import your data (or generate it synthetically) and apply the fit using pyTailFit ...

__,spectrum  = np.loadtxt('.../test-data.dat', delimiter='\t', skiprows=5, unpack=True, dtype='float')
        
time,data,fit=ptf.tail_fit(spectrum=spectrum[:],no_of_expected_decays=1,no_chn_right_of_peak=400,bin_width_in_ps=8.)
