Pulse Height Analyzer (PHA)

An instrument which accepts electronic pulses of varying heights from particle and event de-

tectors, digitizes the pulses’ heights, and saves them in channels for spectral analysis.

Radiation

The propagation of energetic particles (

Particle Radiation

) or electromagnetic waves

(

Electromagnetic Radiation

) through a medium or space. Examples are

Alpha Radia-

tion

Beta Radiation

Gamma Radiation

Neutrons

but also X-rays, radio waves, light,

microwaves or heat.

The word “Radiation” commonly is used as an abbreviation for
