Description
A vast category of detectors are characterized by a charge output with a distribution which has a variance proportional to the mean value. In all these cases a square root scale achieved in the hardware seems more suitable from the point of view of the resolution of the measurements, of the number of ADC channels needed, and of a preliminary analysis in the stage of tuning and checking of the detector.
