Optimization of the multilinear compression function applied to calorimetry

摘要

The energy dynamic range required by a calorimeter with high speed readout may exceed existing ADC capability. A solution may be a dynamic compressor matching the energy span to the ADC range, such as to contribute at most a predefinite amount to the calorimeter resolution. A multilinear compression function is the easiest to implement, ;therefore it is interesting to optimize the input to output relation and fix the break points. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
