D. Lincoln et D. Naples, DETECTING BEAM PILE UP FOR HIGH-RATE PARTICLE BEAMS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 332(1-2), 1993, pp. 23-26
A method for measuring detector pile up has been investigated for high
rate particle beam applications. Two methods were used to record the
data and were shown to be consistent. Use of the detector has been sho
wn to flag pile up and allow for a series of cuts on the data that can
remove rate dependent measurement contamination. The method could be
used as part of a hardware trigger.
