  DANTE is a new Digital Pulse Processor (DPP) developed for fluorescence
detectors, like silicon drift detectors (SDDs) or High Purity Germanium
detectors (HPGe), used in X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Absorption
Spectroscopy (XAS) experiments at synchrotron facilities. Its main features are
its optimal energy resolution and peak stability for detector count rate values
up to 1-2 Mcps, and its enhanced rejection of pile-up events. In this paper, we
present the first complete evaluation of DANTE performance in SOLEIL
synchrotron facility. DANTE has been tested in laboratory with an X-ray
generator source and in different experiments at LUCIA and PUMA beamlines at
SOLEIL.
