Fast analytical methods for the correction of signal random time-shifts and application to segmented HPGe detectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detection systems rely more and more on on-line or off-line comparison of detected signals with basis signals in order to determine the characteristics of the impinging particles. Unfortunately, these comparisons are very sensitive to the random time shifts that may alter the signal delivered by the detectors. We present two fast algebraic methods to determine the value of the time shift and to enhance the reliability of the comparison to the basis signals.

Matrix formalism and singular value decomposition for the location of gamma interactions in segmented HPGe detectors
Modern coaxial and planar HPGe detectors allow a precise determination of the energies and trajectories of the impinging gamma-rays. This entails the location of the gamma interactions inside the crystal from the shape of the delivered signals. This paper reviews the state of the art of the analysis of the HPGe response function and proposes methods that lead to optimum signal decomposition. Th...

متن کاملSimulation and Real-Time Analysis of Pulse Shapes from HPGe Detectors
The capabilities of future Germanium (HPGe) detector arrays consisting of large volume segmented crystals like AGATA [1] will depend heavily on the performance of γray tracking. The most crucial component in the whole concept is the pulse shape analysis (PSA). The efficiency of tracking algorithms hinges on the ability of the PSA to reconstruct the interaction locations accurately, especially f...
متن کاملApplication of Single-Frequency Time-Space Filtering Technique for Seismic Ground Roll and Random Noise Attenuation
Time-frequency filtering is an acceptable technique for attenuating noise in 2-D (time-space) and 3-D (time-space-space) reflection seismic data. The common approach for this purpose is transforming each seismic signal from 1-D time domain to a 2-D time-frequency domain and then denoising the signal by a designed filter and finally transforming back the filtered signal to original time domain. ...
