Abstract
A method for exploiting a signal provided by a detector is disclosed. For one embodiment, the time spent by at least one part of the signal above a value S0 of a first threshold is determined. The charge corresponding to the part of the signal during the time spent above the value S0 of the first threshold is determined. A new value S′0 of the first threshold as a function of the charge and the time spent above the value S0 of the first threshold is determined. The steps of determining the time spent by at least one part of the signal above a value S0 of a first threshold and determining the charge corresponding to the part of the signal during the time spent above the value S0 of the first threshold are reiterated at least once using the new value of the first threshold.
