Department/Abbreviation: KEF/ACAI

Year: 2021

Guarantee: 'doc. RNDr. Jiří Pechoušek, Ph.D.'

Annotation: The goal is to present information about methods of amplitude and time analysis of pulses.

Course review:
types of detectors (basic characteristics of output signal), signal processing - digitalization theoretical shape of the pulse, terminology, simulation of the pulse generation amplitude and time analysis, measurement of single- and multi-channel analysis, computing the time of flight for photon/particle into the detector pulse shape discrimination, methods for processing/shaping/analysis of pulses, pulse pile-up rejection and correction methods in the signal coincidence methods - principles of coincidence/anticoincidence systems, measurement of lifetime of excited nucleus, half-times of radioactive materials
