Abstract :
In this paper we present two different design approaches to the implementation of fast peak detector-stretchers for X-ray absorption fine structure fluorescence applications (XAFS). After describing the motivations for using peak detector-stretchers in high rate applications, we discuss in detail the design and benefits of their use in a modern nuclear spectroscopy system.
