Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of nuclear radiation detection and nuclear electronics, and relates to a method for judging and correcting nuclear radiation pulse accumulation signals based on high-speed digital sampling. Background technique [0002] Energy resolution is the main performance index of nuclear radiation spectrometry system. In addition to the inherent energy resolution of the detector, circuit noise, pulse accumulation and ballistic loss are important factors affecting the energy resolution of the system. At high count rates, pulse pile-up becomes the dominant factor. It has been reported in the literature that when the count rate increases above 1-2kHz, the signal baseline shifts gradually, which deteriorates the resolution, and the peak accumulation of the signal causes great changes in the signal amplitude and waveform, which also leads to the deterioration of the resolution. In this case, it is necessary to consider h...

Problems solved by technology

Using the time interval as the method of discriminative stacking, due to the limitation of the resolution of the circuit itself, it cannot be used to distinguish whether two signals that are very close to each other are stacked or not.

After the time discrimination method, the amplitude rejection method was developed to discriminate the accumulation of signals that are very close to each other. Using this method to distinguish the accumulation of signals, the accumulation of signals with a pulse interval of about tens of nanoseconds can be identified, but for Nearly completely coincident signals are still undistinguishable

Moreover, the amplitude rejection method is only suitable for the measurement of a single energy ray, not for the case where the measurement object has multiple energy ray

In short, the traditional method cannot judge the accumulation at the leading edge and the accumulation at the trailing edge of less tha
