Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to detect radiation accurately, and particularly in a highly radioactive environment. A system includes a detector module for a radiation detector and a parallel signal analyzer configured to receive radiation detection event signals from the detector module and provide a spectroscopy output and a dose rate output. The parallel signal analyzer may be configured to analyze the radiation detection event signals in parallel in first and second analysis channels according to respective first and second measurement times and determine the spectroscopy output and the dose rate output based on radiation detection event energies determined according to the respective first and second measurement times.
