Hyper pure germanium spectroscopy

FASTER USE CASE

HYPER PURE GERMANIUM SPECTROSCOPY

SUMMARY

Hyper Pure Germanium detectors (HPGe) are outstanding devices for radioactivity spectroscopy. In order to take benefit from their full capacities, one must connect them to state of the art signal processing spectroscopy amplifiers and acquisition boards. Creating a numerical spectroscopy amplifier and data acquisition system is a challenging and a really interesting problem.

We will explore, in this FASTER use-case, some results on HPGe spectroscopy, using the CR-RC4 shaper of FASTER.
