Fast pulse detection algorithms for digitized waveforms from scintillators
Description
Abstract Advanced C++ programming methods as well as fast Pulse Detection Algorithms (PDA) have been implemented in order to increase the computing speed of a LabVIEW™ data processing software developed for a Digital Pulse Shape Discrimination (DPSD) system for liquid scintillators. The newly implemented PDAs are described and compared: the most efficient method has been implemented in the data processing software, which has also been ported into C++. The comparison of the computing speeds of the new ... Title of program: DPDS - Digital Pulse Detection Software Catalogue Id: AEHQ_v1_0 Nature of problem A very slow pulse detection algorithm, used as standard in LABView, is preventing the ability to process achieved data during the pause between plasma discharges in modern tokamaks.
