Digitized traces were recorded using a 500\u00a0MHz FADC and analysed with digital signal processing methods. Good performance is obtained using standard techniques up to about 500\u00a0kHz counting rate. A pile-up correction method is applied to the data in order to further improve the capabilities at even higher rates with a focus on recovering the losses in efficiency due to signal pile-up. It is shown, that <em>\u03b3<\/em>&#8211;<em>ray<\/em> spectroscopy can be performed with only moderate lossen in efficiency and high resolution at count rates even above 1\u00a0MHz and that the performance can be enhanced in the region between 500\u00a0kHz and 10\u00a0MHz by using the applied pile-up correction techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Link to the full article: <a title=\"blocked::http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.nima.2012.05.051\" href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.nima.2012.05.051\">http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.nima.2012.05.051<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High count rate \u03b3&#8211;ray spectroscopy with LaBr3:Ce scintillation detectors B.
