Rise time parameter in digital spectroscopy analyzer (DSA) is used to obtain a new method for pulse

shape processing which is used to correct dead time and pile up at high count rate. When the pile up rejecter

has been used the dead time did not eliminate so much, but as the new method has been used (rise time

parameter) the dead time decreased to its half value. The effect of rise time on the spectrum such as the

relationship between the rise time and each of width pulse shape, dead time, gauss ratio, peak to valley ratio

and peak to Compton ratio ,have been studied .
