DEO, A program to deconvolve experimental outcomes

Abstract Experimental outcomes are often described by a convolution integral whose kernel is the impulse response of the instrument. The program DEO, Deconvolution of Experimental Outcomes, corrects the effects of the instrument finite resolution on experimental data. Basic ideas and performances of DEO are here discussed.
