Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015128574A1] The invention relates to a tool for detecting radiation, comprising: a semiconductor detector material (10) able to interact with ionising radiation; an electrode (100) for collecting charge carriers generated in the detector material under the effect of an interaction with the ionising radiation; a shaping circuit (11) for forming an electrical pulse having a shape that depends on the amount of charge collected; a counting circuit (15, 16, 17, 22) for counting the number of pulses formed, comprising a counter and an incrementing element, characterised in that it comprises: a duration-measuring element (17) for measuring a pulse duration (f) for each pulse formed; a peak-detecting element (15) for determining a maximum amplitude (H) of each pulse formed; and a combining element (16) for combining said maximum amplitude H and said pulse duration (f), in order to establish said parameter for comparison. Preferably, the parameter for comparison is the product (H × t) of a maximum amplitude measured for the pulse and the corresponding pulse duration, the counting threshold having a fixed preset value.
