Abstract :
The analysis and design of the instrumentation required to provide spatial and energy information from a high purity germanium, one-dimensional position sensing gamma ray detector is presented. The results of this study demonstrate that the optimum instrumentation system utilizes Gaussian shaping for the energy channel and Gaussian trapezoidal pulse shaping after antisymmetric summation in the spatial channel.
