Digital centroid-finding electronics for high-rate detectors
1999
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
Preserved Fulltext
Fast centroid-finding electronics are being developed for a range of position-sensitive gas proportional detectors. Each cathode strip feeds a preamplifier, shaper and a free-running ADC. Increased total count rate is achieved by dividing the detector into several segments with parallel processing that introduces no common dead time. Each segment has centralchannel finding logic and event listing realized in a FPGA, followed by a DSP that performs the centroid calculation and histogramming.
