This method is based on using wavelets to discriminate between pulse shapes in the frequency (scale) domain rather than in the time domain. The proposed method shows a better discrimination performance compared to other time-domain methods in terms of robustness to noise and reliability. This method is also able to detect pile-up events which could not be detected using other time-domain methods. This method can be easily implemented with \FPGA\ technology and digital signal processors.
