Abstract :
The performance of high resolution pulse amplitude spectrometers is often seriously degraded at high counting rates due to baseline problems of various kinds. A variation on the Robinson double-diode dc restorer is presented which makes it possible to obtain high resolution with Li-drifted Ge spectrometers at counting rates greater than 50,000 per second.
