“…These properties of CsI(Tl) can be used to identify the particle that caused the scintillation. Many techniques such as the charge comparison [3], zero cross over time (ZCT) [4] and ballistic deficit [5] are used for the charged particles identification. In addition to the above techniques, The FPGA based digital signal processing has also been employed for the particle identification using pulse shape analysis [6].…”

An array of eight CsI(Tl) detectors has been set up to measure the light charged particles in nuclear reactions using heavy ions from the Pelletron Linac Facility, Mumbai. The energy response of CsI(Tl) detector to α-particles from 5 to 40 MeV is measured using radioactive sources and the 12 C( 12 C, α) reaction populating discrete states in 20 Ne. The energy non-linearity and the count rate effect on the pulse shape discrimination property have also been measured and observed the deterioration of pulse shape discrimination with higher count rate.

“…In addition, phoswich detectors, consisting of multiple layers of different scintillators, produce different pulse shapes depending on which layer absorbs the radiation, which can be used for particle identification [2,3,4]. Consequently, many materials and PSA algorithms have been proposed and studied in this context for many years [5,6,7,8,9,10]. Overall, the PSD tends to depend more on the choice of scintillator than the PSA algorithms, many of which produce similar figures of merit (FOM) [11,12], though processing complexity can vary widely.…”

Pulse shape discrimination applied to certain fast scintillators is usually performed offline. In sufficiently high-event rate environments data transfer and storage become problematic, which suggests a different analysis approach. In response, we have implemented a general purpose pulse shape analysis algorithm in the XIA Pixie-500 and Pixie-500 Express digital spectrometers. In this implementation waveforms are processed in real time, reducing the pulse characteristics to a few pulse shape analysis parameters and eliminating time-consuming waveform transfer and storage. We discuss implementation of these features, their advantages, necessary trade-offs and performance. Measurements from bench top and experimental setups using fast scintillators and XIA processors are presented.
