Comparisons of the DSPEC and DSPEC Plus Spectrometer Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A previous experimental evaluation’ of nine commercial gamma-ray spectroscopy systems demonstrated significant benefits of digital signal processing for improvements in the performance of high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy systems. Spectacular improvements in the energy resolution and throughput of germanium detectors were demonstrated for the DSPEC. Recently, a new, improved version of DSPEC, the DSPEC Plus, was developed. Results of the performance of the DSPEC Plus are compared to those of the DSPEC.

Comparisons Between Digital Gamma Ray Spectrometer (DSPEC) and Standard Nuclear Instrumentation Methods (NIM) Systems
Up until about a year ago, gamma-ray spectroscopy has always been done using the analog amplifier, which processes the pulses from the preamplifier to remove the noise, reject the pile-up signals, and shape the signals into some desirable form before sending them to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to be digitized. In late 1996, EG&G Ortec introduced a digital gamma-ray spectrometer (DSPec...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Eigenvalues of the Hyperbolic Laplacian for Polyhedra with One Cusp
Huntebrinker's research was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Let H 3 be three-dimensional hyperbolic space and a group of isometries of H 3 that acts discontinuously on H 3 and that has a fundamental domain of finite hyperbolic volume. The Laplace operator of H 3 gives rise to a positive, essentially selfadjoint operator on L2( nH 3). The nature of its discrete spectrum dspec i...
متن کاملMeasuring cell identity in noisy biological systems
Global gene expression measurements are increasingly obtained as a function of cell type, spatial position within a tissue and other biologically meaningful coordinates. Such data should enable quantitative analysis of the cell-type specificity of gene expression, but such analyses can often be confounded by the presence of noise. We introduce a specificity measure Spec that quantifies the info...
متن کاملPolymer-based chromophore–catalyst assemblies for solar energy conversion
The synthesis of polymer-based assemblies for light harvesting has been motivated by the multi-chromophore antennas that play a role in natural photosynthesis for the potential use in solar conversion technologies. This review describes a general strategy for using polymer-based chromophore-catalyst assemblies for solar-driven water oxidation at a photoanode in a dye-sensitized photoelectrochem...
متن کاملUse of a Spectralon panel to measure the downwelling irradiance signal: case studies and recommendations.
Field determinations of the remote sensing reflectance signal are necessary to validate ocean color satellite sensors. The measurement of the above-water downwelling irradiance signal Ed(0+) is commonly made with a reference plaque of a known reflectance. The radiance reflected by the plaque (L(dspec)) can be used to determine Ed(0+) if the plaque is assumed to be near Lambertian. To test this ...
