Coinc Scope pictures

Two HpGe detectors were used to detect coincidence gammas from Co-60 on 6/14/2013.
Co-60 will beta decay to Ni-60 giving off two gammas in coincidence having energies of 1173 and 1332.5 keV. The scope pictures below record the pulses from the HpGe detector that are in coincidence. I would have expected the charge output by the HpGe detector to be similar for the two gammas, but there are some that have less than half the charge. The could be the beta particles from the decay reaching one of the detectors in coincidence with one of the gammas.

50 keV Energy resolution from an HpGe detector??
I think the inverting amp is too noisy:
The Signal is about 400 mV and the above noise is 37 mV peak-to-peak and it is syncronized with my integrate gate
The voltage variations of the timing amp output in the region of the integrate gate are about +/- 10 mV
