Emilio Gatti
Emilio Gatti (18 March 1922 – 9 July 2016) was an Italian engineer. He was a professor of nuclear electronics at the Politecnico of Milan. With Pavel Rehak he invented the silicon drift detector in 1983; he later patented it. Life Gatti was born in Turin on 18 March 1922. In 1946 he graduated in electrical engineering at the University of Padua, and in 1947 did post-graduate work in electronics. From 1948 he worked at the Centro Informazioni Studi ed Esperienze in Milan, where in 1950, he became head of the electronics division. From 1951 he taught at the Politecnico di Milano, and from 1957 to 1997 was a there. In 1998, he was appointed emeritus professor. Societies From 1961 to 1993, he was director of the scientific journal ''Alta Frequenza'' of the Italian Electrotechnics and Electronics Association (AEI). From 1964 to 1967, he was President of the Italian Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Member (1971-1995) and President (198 ...

Nuclear Electronics
Nuclear electronics is a subfield of electronics concerned with the design and use of high-speed electronic systems for nuclear physics and elementary particle physics research, and for industrial and medical use. Essential elements of such systems include fast detectors for charged particles, discriminators for separating them by energy, counters for counting the pulses produced by individual particles, fast logic circuits (including coincidence and veto gates), for identification of particular types of complex particle events, and pulse height analyzers (PHAs) for sorting and counting gamma rays or particle interactions by energy, for spectral analysis. Elementary components Some of the essential components that make up the elements of a nuclear electronic analysis system include: * Detectors *Bias voltage supplies * Preamplifiers * Discriminators * Coincidence and veto logic gates. * Counters * Pulse height analyzers These elements were originally developed and built in the la ...
