Abstract

We have developed an electronic system based on a 100 MHz flash ADC for analysing the shape of the signals issued from photomultipliers. The purpose of this system is to improve appreciably the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique by means of the full knowledge on the time dependence of the collected light for electrons and heavy particles in the scintillating medium. We have obtained, without any particular optimisation, an order of magnitude improvement in the rejection of the electrons with a heavy particle efficiency of 93%.
