Title:     Digital Pulse Processing for Physics Applications

Abstract: Nowadays, the availability of very fast and high precision ADC chips has driven physicists and engineers to realize acquisition systems in which the analog-to-digital conversion is performed as close as possible to the detector. This approach is reversed with respect to more traditional acquisition chains which were made out of mainly analog circuits with the A-to-D conversion at the end of the chain. The use of fast digitizers to acquire signals coming from radiation detectors opens new possibilities and make the front-end and readout electronics much more flexible and compact. The extraction of the quantities of interest, such as energy, timing, etc. is now performed on the digital data stream by means of dedicated digital pulse processing (DPP) algorithms. The purpose of this Digital Pulse Processing Workshop is to present the basic principle of operation of a waveform digitizer with DPP capabilities and how it can be used for physics applications.
