description

Abstract An asymmetric linear Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak coincidence spectrometer configuration has been designed and tested. In this system, the ratio of the gains of two detector-amplifier chains is chosen around 1.2 to 1.3, and the pulse amplitudes or addresses due to coincident events are summed. The simple method introduced involving a single run which results in two spectra (separated according to which detector records the larger energy) appears to be quite useful in γγ coincidence and directional correlation measurements, especially in laboratories where no event-by-event data acquisition hardware are available.
