step one, opening a digital spectrometer and waiting for the rising edge of a signal;
capturing a rising edge, starting to record pulses, and waiting for a falling edge;
capturing a falling edge, and finishing pulse recording;
step four, performing five-point smoothing on the pulse;

The working principle of the invention is as follows:
the gamma energy spectrum measured by the scintillation detector has lower peak-to-average ratio, and the measurement of the target ray is easily interfered by background rays and cosmic rays in the environment. The compton platform is formed because gamma rays are compton scattered one or more times in the main crystal, and a continuous electron spectrum is left after scattered photons escape from the main crystal.

Wherein, the situation that the energy deposition occurs in the primary crystal and the secondary crystal belongs to the counting of the Compton platform, the situation that the energy deposition occurs in the secondary crystal or the energy deposition occurs in the secondary crystal and the primary crystal belongs to the counting of the environment background and cosmic rays, and the summary is to deduct the counting of the energy deposition occurring in the secondary crystal from the energy spectrum.
