Description

Digital pulse processing (DPP) represents the core of extracting information about useful data from the radiation detector pulses. It is a well-known method used in the field of nuclear physics. One such DPP is the Pulse Shape Discriminator (PSD). It is used at ELI-NP for differentiating between different particles such as neutrons and gammas based on the shape of their voltage pulses. The used digitizers in the experimental set-ups contain built-in PSD and Constant Fraction Discriminator (CFD) algorithms. One drawback with commercial digitizers is the fact that the processing code is enclosed without any easy access. In this work, I will present the equivalent code, done in-house, which will ensure custom solutions for future nuclear physics experiments.
