Abstract
A device that processes a signal delivered by a radiation detector includes a circuit that delivers a voltage pulse whose amplitude is proportional to a charge detected by the radiation detector. The device also includes an analog to digital converter to digitize the voltage pulse at a given sampling frequency and delivers a corresponding digital signal to a processing circuit. The processing circuit reads the digital signal, computes a temporal variation rate of the digital signal and captures the digital signal when the temporal variation reaches a threshold.
