Abstract

A fast digitizing system was applied to a new waveform analysis of /spl gamma/-ray spectrometry, where coaxial Ge detector signals were analyzed by a fast ADC (200 MHz/10 bits) combined with a UNIX workstation. Multi-parametric analysis of each pulse waveform has been examined using two parameters: one parameter was a signal risetime (tr) and the other was a shape index (Ra) which describes the convexity or concavity of waveform in the pulse risetime region. A set of two parameters (tr and Ra) can indicate the /spl gamma/-ray reaction position for one collision event, which agreed well with experiments using a collimated /sup 57/Co /spl gamma/-ray source. The selection of multiple scattered events gave a better peak-to-Compton ratio of 128:1, which was 3.4 times higher than the value without this selection.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
