These pages describe a project undertaken between 1999 and 2003.
Two of the big changes in new generations of Nuclear Physics instrumentation
are the incorporation of digital processing and the use of gamma ray
tracking. The Nuclear Physics Group at Daresbury set up a project in 1999 to
investigate digital pulse processing for gamma ray detectors and how best to
implement gamma ray tracking in large Germanium gamma ray detectors. This work
was undertaken jointly with the Universities of Surrey and Liverpool.
