  • Patent number: 10641909
    Abstract: The invention is a method for processing a pulse generated by a detector of ionizing radiation, the detector being configured to interact with ionizing radiation in order to generate said pulse, the amplitude of which depends on an energy liberated by the ionizing radiation during its interaction in the detector, the method including the following steps: a) exposing the detector to a source of ionizing radiation so as to obtain, at a measurement time, a pulse called the measurement pulse; b) shaping the measurement pulse, using a first shaping time, and determining a first amplitude of the measurement pulse thus shaped; and c) correcting the first amplitude measured in step b), by taking into account a correction factor; the correction factor being determined by taking into account pulses, called pulses of interest, formed by the detector during an exposure to the source or to a calibration source, during a time range of interest.
