Pulse-height selection

Considerable confusion results because the terms pulse-height analysis, pulse-height discrimination, and pulse-height selection are sometimes used loosely or interchangeably. We shall follow The International Dictionary of Physics and Electronics, D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc., Princeton, N. J., 1950, pages 715 and 710, where the instruments for these techniques are described as follows ... [Pg.45]

In the analysis of light elements where the wavelength differences to be resolved are large and it is difficult to get good crystals, pulse-height, selection has a promising future. [Pg.62]

There are ways of coping with these interferences. Pulse-height selection (2.13) is a direct method. As we shall see in Chapter 7, a particularly bad case, the determination of tungsten in aqueous solution with scattered target line and the identical line from the sample superimposed, could be handled successfully by properly correcting the background. [Pg.103]

Pulse-height selection facilitates the determination by reducing in importance the background and the lines (in 5th- and 3rd-order reflection) of the matrix elements, nickel and titanium.

Table 8-2 contains unpublished results fron the authors laboratory that illustrate the effectiveness of pulse-height selection in the determination of light elements. In the case of silicon, the background was due mainly to scattered x-rays. In the case of sulfur, multiplier phototube noise was also present. The counting interval was 10 seconds for Nt (total count) and for Nb (background). The excellent results for sulfur could not have been obtained had there not been careful and fortunate selection of the multiplier phototube. [Pg.219]
