ABSTRACT:
A correction for pileup of measurements made by a nuclear detector is applied by selecting the energy of the first signal in a pileup, ignoring the remaining signals in the pileup, and correcting the count rate by a factor related to the total pulse widths within a unit time interval. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
