In this application note, the first section describes the physical and functional features of the Lynx DSA. The next section compares the resolution performance in low count rate situations to CANBERRA's previous digital DSA, the DSA-1000, as well as a NIM-based analog setup. The third section compares the resolution, energy stability, and throughput for these systems in high count rate environments. The following section highlights the benefits of the Lynx's wide dynamic range. The next section demonstrates the loss free counting capability of the Lynx and its benefits in high or transient count rate applications. The last section summarizes the evaluation of the Lynx DSA.
