Reduction of pile-up effects in time and energy measurements

Abstract Two circuits for the reduction of pile-up effects are described. Circuit I was designed for a time-to-pulse height converter working with plastic scintillators. Circuit II was designed for a NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometer. An analysis of pile-up phenomena related to a time-to-pulse height converter is presented. In particular, the influence on these phenomena of the slow coincidence resolving time and of the coupling time constant between the photomultiplier anode and limiter grid was investigated.
