Abstract
The effect of pile-up distortion in the pulse height spectrum of a detector has been determined in the form of an integral representation. A number of important special cases, which arise in experimental applications, are treated. The integral representations for these cases have been evaluted in regions of experimental interest. Comparisons are given between the present numerical results and other estimates of pile-up distortion.Keywords
