Gamma-spectrometry shatters the 100 kc/s throughput barrier

Abstract

Due to the fact that pulse rise time is coincident with the fall time of the previous pulse in the Preloaded Filter pulse processor, it has a definite throughput advantage over all other pulse shaping methods. So, for the first time, it was possible to achieve throughput rates of⁶⁰Co after pileup rejection in excess of 100 kc/s, at substantially better resolutions than those of other high rate shaping amplifiers.
