“…In the realm of gamma-ray detection, Duchêne et al (1999) and other relevant studies have extensively examined composite detectors and their properties. These properties encompass critical aspects such as full energy peak detection efficiency, energy resolution, peak-to-total ratios, timing capabilities through in-beam experiments, and multiple modes of operation [1][2][3][4]. To evaluate the performance of the GRIFFIN spectrometer's 16 HPGe clover detectors, a combination of analog and digital data collection techniques was employed at the TRIUMF-ISAC laboratory [5].…”

A comprehensive overview of the Balqarad clover detector acquired by Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan is given in detail. The detector consists of four high-purity germanium crystals, accompanied by a composite scintillation active shield. Through meticulous testing involving a range of radioactive sources such as 137Cs, 60Co, and 241Am, we evaluate the performance of the clover detector. The associated digital data acquisition system incorporates specialized and unconventional time registers, operating in event-by-event mode. Our objective is to elucidate the energy and time characteristics exhibited by the new system under different operational modes, employing specifically designed offline software. Our findings encompass vital aspects. These aspects include the determination of the optimal time window value for processing data obtained from gamma detection measurements. Another issue that has been considered is the analysis of hit pattern distribution within each individual crystal. Additionally, we calculate the addback factor for the 60Co source, accounting for gamma energies of 1173 keV and 1332 keV while also considering the influence of time window increment.
