ABSTRACT |
Method for detecting and differentiating valid events in gamma radiation detectors (505, 510), which method comprises the following steps of: obtaining a timing pulse from the detector (505, 510) in which an event is detected comparing the timing pulse obtained with two thresholds (U1, U2), thus generating two digital comparison pulses, the input edges of which correspond to the instants at which the timing pulse exceeds said thresholds (U1, U2) combining the two digital comparison pulses such that a digital window pulse is generated, the duration of which is Tpulse =TA +- TB, where TA is a fixed value and TB is the interval of time which has elapsed between the respective input edges of the digital comparison pulses and determining whether the event is valid as a function of the digital window pulse obtained. |
