Tail-pulse generator

<p>Tail pulse generators simulate the outputs of <a href="/facts/Particle_detector/rYj0qKtA">radiation detectors</a>, <a href="/facts/Photomultiplier/lVDdAH5d">photomultiplier</a> tubes (PMT's) and their electronics. They in turn test systems and components for linearity, stability, resolution, pile-up and count rate effects. Tail pulse generators are differentiated from standard logic pulse generators in that the rise and fall times are exponential. 
</p><p>These simulate the outputs of Germanium detectors, plastic scintillators and their PMT's, NaI scintillators and their PMT's and LaBr3/LaCl3 scintillators and their PMT's. The random tail-pulse generators can test for pile-up and count rate effects. The fast tail-pulse generators can simulate the 5 ns <a href="/facts/Full_width_at_half_maximum/oXSLXf7S">FWHM</a> pulses of faster PMT outputs. The precision tail-pulse generators can test linearity, stability and resolution.
