Digital Data Acquisition System for Experiments With Segmented Detectors at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory
A 624-channel Digital Data Acquisition System capable of instrumenting the Segmented Germanium Array at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory has been implemented using Pixie-16 Digital Gamma Finder modules by XIA LLC. The system opens an opportunity for...
Digital Data Acquisition Modules for Instrumenting Large Segmented Germanium Detector Arrays
XIA LLC has developed a 16-channel digital gamma-ray spectrometer (DGF Pixie-16) and associated electronics for instrumenting segmented germanium detector systems with large numbers of channels. The Pixie-16 is a CompactPCI/PXI-based data acquisition module equipped...
Multi-Spectral XRF Counting: Squeeze Twice as much Information from Your Detector
Counting small peaks on large backgrounds in XRF applications is a process limited by the statistics of estimating both the counts and the background in the peak region. Improving energy resolution ΔE helps by increasing peak/background ratio and providing a more...
