Radiation detection

摘要

A method of and device for processing a radiation pulse are described based on: detecting an event at the detector; producing a pulse; determining for the pulse: a pulse height measurement representative of pulse magnitude; a pulse width measurement representative of pulse duration; assigning the pulse to one of at least two classes based on the determined pulse height/pulse width; applying to each pulse an algorithm specific to its particular class to produce an output pulse height/pulse width profile.

1. A method of processing of detected radiation data from a semiconductor detector device comprising:
detecting an event at the semiconductor detector device; producing a pulse; determining for the pulse:
a pulse height measurement representative of pulse magnitude; anda pulse width measurement representative of pulse duration; assigning, by a programmable apparatus, the pulse to one of at least two classes based on one or more of the pulse height measurement and the pulse width measurement; and the programmable apparatus applying to the pulse an algorithm specific to its particular class to produce an output pulse height/pulse width profile comprising one or more modified values, wherein the applying comprises modifying at least one of the pulse height measurement and the pulse width measurement to produce the one or more modified values, the one or more modified values comprising at least one of a modified pulse height value and a modified pulse width value.
