Abstract
Provision is made in a method and a device for detecting elementary particles such as for example protons, ions, electrons, neutrons, photons or the like in a detector, wherein a charge pulse is generated in the detector when a particle passes through the detector and every charge pulse is subsequently converted into an electric signal and the signal is indicated and/or recorded in particular after amplification, for individual signals to be amplified in a first, fast amplifier and/or in each case a plurality of signals to be integrated in a second, slow amplifier, as a result of which it becomes possible for individual particles to be detected and in particular at increased signal or count rates for an integration thereof to be provided.

A method for detecting elementary particles such as for example protons, ions, electrons, neutrons, photons or the like in a detector, wherein a charge pulse is generated in the detector when a particle passes through the detector and every charge pulse is subsequently converted into an electric signal and the signal is indicated and/or recorded, in particular after amplification, wherein individual signals are amplified in a first, fast amplifier and/or a plurality of signals are each integrated in a second, slow amplifier, wherein discharging of a charge pulse or signal from the detector is performed on the low-voltage side.
A device for detecting elementary particles such as for example protons, ions, electrons, neutrons, photons or the like, including a detector for generating a charge pulse in the detector when a particle passes therethrough, wherein at least one consecutively arranged amplification device for converting every charge pulse into an electric signal and amplifying the same, and optionally a display and/or recording device, are provided, wherein a first, fast amplifier for amplifying individual signals and a second, slow amplifier for integrating signals are provided, wherein the tapping of the charge pulses or signals is provided on the low-voltage side of the detector, in particular with the arrangement of a support capacitor.
