33RD INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE, RIO DE JANEIRO 2013 THE ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS CONFERENCE Development of Digital Pulse Processing algorithms for Muon detection and Pulse-height distribution estimation

Digital Pulse Processing techniques (DPP). An example of this is our new low-cost DAQ system (described in a separate paper [1]). The next step in the upgrading process is the design of nuclear spectroscopy systems for neutron and muon detectors at the Observatory. In the case of NM64 neutron monitor we can estimate pulse height distribution and evaluate the performance of a novel pulse pile up recovery algorithm (studying the possibility of using this system for other experiments). For the muon telescope we are designing a new method for separating the soft component from the muon component. In this paper we present the details of the algorithms and the first tests we made with signals from the detectors
