Summary

[edit]
Description
English: When a gamma ray interacts with the detector, hole-electron pairs are created

that are quickly swept to the appropriate electrodes. This small charge is collected by a sensitive preamplifier, which produces a pulse whose height (voltage) is proportional to the energy deposited in the crystal. This pulse is then shaped and amplified and passed to a pulse-height analyzer, which counts the events in the

form of a histogram sorted according to energy.
