Constant Fraction Discrimination

Constant Fraction Discrimination is a pulse timing technique in nuclear and particle physics instrumentation that determines the arrival time of a signal pulse by triggering at a fraction of its amplitude, thereby minimizing time walk errors caused by pulse height variations.
