Analog Pulse Shape Discrimination Based on Time Duration and Pulse Height

Pulse shape discrimination is a name of a group of techniques used to detect and distinguish between different types of radiation interactions. Analog pulse shape discrimination methods can be more suitable than digital methods, for high-speed scintillators both from rate and power consumption persp...
