The crystal identification and particle identification require applying pulse shape discrimination (PSD) or Crystal Identification (CI) me thods to differentiate between two or more types of scintillation pulses according to their decay times. The characterizations of scintillation pulses significantly affect the performance and the complexity of the CI algorithm. This paper implements a mathematical model of different types of pulses and their typical noise. Furthermore, a generic LabVIEWbased…
