Abstract: First and second pulse height detection circuits output pulse height detection signals which rise when a detection pulse obtained from a radiation detector becomes greater than a lower threshold Lsh or an upper threshold Hsh, and fall when the detection pulse is smaller than the lower threshold Lsh or the upper threshold Hsh. Next, first and second rising and falling detection circuits detect rising and falling edges of the pulse height detection signals from the first and second pulse height detection circuits in synchronization with a clock pulse from a crystal oscillator, and a combining circuit outputs a signal corresponding to the detection pulse that is within a range between the lower threshold Lsh and the upper threshold Hsh by combining both outputs from the first and second rising and falling detection circuits, in synchronization with the clock pulse.

Abstract: A detector signal-processing circuit comprises the following: a current/voltage conversion part that converts the current value of a neutron detector to a voltage value; a variable gain amplification part that performs amplification by a first-step variable gain using a D/A converter; a current level response-use resistance circuit that selects the measurement range in accordance with the voltage value; temperature measurement units for measuring the temperature of the resistance circuit for current level response; a temperature compensation part for commanding gain compensation by the D/A converter on the basis of the measured temperature; and a selective adjustment control part for selective control of the measurement range and adjustment of the variable gain of the variable gain amplification part. Due to this configuration, neutron flux can be measured with high precision while maintaining a constant output precision, before and after switching of the measurement range.
