Abstract

DANTE is a new Digital Pulse Processor (DPP) developed for fluorescence detectors, like Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) or High Purity Germanium detectors (HPGe), used in X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) experiments at synchrotron facilities. Its main features are its optimal energy resolution and peak stability for detector count rate values up to 1–2 Mcps, and its enhanced rejection of pile-up events. In this paper, we present the first complete evaluation of DANTE performance in SOLEIL synchrotron facility. DANTE has been tested in laboratory with an X-ray generator source and in different experiments at LUCIA and PUMA beamlines at SOLEIL.
