  8. Constraints on front-end bandwidth from the point of view of BEGeA/E pulse-shape discrimination method(simplified study)

  9. Dušan Budjáš MPIK Heidelberg Test of PSD performance in dependence on signal bandwidth • off-line modification of recorded experimental pulse-shape data • step 1: FE bandwidth restriction simulated by various filter methods raw FADC data (pulser signal) after digital filtering 24 ns 40 ns – 500 ns 9

  13. Dušan Budjáš MPIK Heidelberg PSD performance in dependence on applied shaping Modified FE  longer shaping times improve PSD rejection of 60Co background 13

  14. Dušan Budjáš Summary and conclusions • BEGe technology: standard p-type det. tech. single read-out per det., Phase-1 type holder • dependence of PSD performance on FE rise-time simulated by applying shaping filters to recorded experimental data • PSD requirements on front-end bandwidth not very demanding: ~100 ns rise-time sufficient • more accurate study can be performed using pulse-shape simulation 14
