Nuclear electronics
Nuclear electronics is a subfield of
elementary particle physics
research, and for industrial and medical use.
Essential elements of such systems include fast
pulse height analyzers (PHAs) for sorting and counting gamma rays or particle interactions by energy, for spectral analysis
.
Elementary components
Some of the essential components that make up the elements of a nuclear electronic analysis system include:
- Detectors
- Bias voltage supplies
- Preamplifiers
- Discriminators
- Coincidence and veto logic gates.
- Counters
- Pulse height analyzers
These elements were originally developed and built in the laboratories of the scientists doing the pioneering work in the field, but are nowadays designed, developed, and manufactured by a variety of specialized vendors:
