Abstract

The systems and methods receive signals from pixelated anodes for at least one event, and pass the signals from the pixelated anodes through corresponding channel pairs, attenuate the signal from a plurality of select anodes at the first and second shaper circuits coupled to the plurality of the select anodes to form a candidate energy signals and an authentication energy signals, respectively, compare a ratio to identify whether the select anode is a collected energy signal or a non-collected energy signal, repeat the attenuating and comparing operations for a plurality of select anodes have one or more collecting anode and a plurality of peripheral anodes, subdivide the collecting anode having the collected energy signal into a plurality of sub-pixels, and identify a location of the at least one event relative to the plurality of sub-pixels based on non-collected energy signals from the plurality of peripheral anodes.
