Abstract

We report an approach to double gaussian filtering used in classical works as dual parameter pulse processing. This technique has been implemented by creating a bank of gaussian-like digital filters based on wavelet transforms. A simple method to correct for the charge loss inherent to room temperature semiconductor gamma detectors has been developed. This method is based on multi-resolution signal analysis. Results are reported from tests of these algorithms on commercial CZT detectors and two trapped hole charge correction levels are compared. Finally, the advantages and limitations of this new approach to detector pulse processing are discussed.
