Digital Pulse Shape Acquisition From BaF2: Preliminary Results

摘要

The use of NE102A-BaF₂ phoswich detector drastically improves the particle identification with respect to BaF₂ crystals. To better exploit the possibility of light ion discrimination we plan to apply digital signal processing to the signals on-beam collected with NE102A-BaF₂ phoswich. In this contribution we present the preliminary results obtained for the natural background of BaF₂ and for the heavy ion charge identification (up to Z = 50) and light particle mass identification using digital pulse shape acquisition and a 12-bit, 2 Gsample/s sampling analog to digital converter.
