Abstract
A novel digital pulse-shape analysis (DPSA) was performed for high-resolution position-sensitive gamma-ray spectroscopy with coaxial-type high-purity germanium (HpGe) detectors. The DPSA consisted of two stages that determined the pulse height, the interaction point and the start time by using the chi-square fitting the digitally recorded pulse shapes with calculated shapes. As the DPSA was applied to gamma-ray spectroscopy using HpGe coaxial detectors, we obtained the energy spectra, the time-difference spectra and the interaction depth profiles for the gamma rays emitted from 133Ba and 22Na standard sources. The efficiency of the spectroscopic analysis using the DPSA was compared with that using a conventional analog signal process (CASP). Furthermore, we determined the half-lifetime of the first excited state in 133Cs by using the DPSA.
