Title: Comparison of Response Characteristics of High-Purity Germanium Detectors using Analog Versus Digital Processing

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15009837· OSTI ID:15009837

In this article we will discuss some of the results of the response characteristics of High Purity germanium detectors using analog versus digital processing of the signals that are outputted from the detector. The discussion will focus on whether or not there is a significant difference in the response of the detector with digital electronics that it limits the ability of the detection system to get reasonable gamma ray spectrometric results. Particularly, whether or not the performance of the analysis code Pu600 is compromised.
