Abstract
A method is developed to compute the distortion of pulse height distributions by the pile‐up effect for arbitrary spectra and pulse shapes. The distorted spectra can be processed by an iterative method to reproduce the original distribution. Results are given for pulses shaped by resistors and capacitors or by short circuited delay lines. The best pulse shaping network is a simple modification of the double delay line clipping amplifier.Keywords
