Abstract:A system was developed for obtaining γ-ray spectra with high resolution at high input rates. For rates up to 100 000 γ-ray events/sec in a 3.5 cm3 (13 mm thick) Ge(Li) detector, the FWHM at 1.33 MeV is 2–3½ keV and the spectral shift is no more than 0.1%. The amplifying chain, consisting of a cooled FET preamplifier and a simple main amplifier, is pole-zero compensated throughout. The amplifier produces unipolar pulses shaped with equal integrating and differentiating time constants of 1.2 μsec. The amplifier … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
