Abstract

The problem of multitriggering of constant fraction discriminators by a BaF2 scintillation pulse was studied and discussed in relation to the internal design of the discriminators.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Two signals are extracted from the photomultiplier associated with each detector: a fast signal from the anode, for timing, and a slow signal from one of the last dynodes, for energy discrimination. In the “slow-fast” arrangement the fast timing pulses after discrimination, typically using a constant fraction discriminator (CFD) [12], are gated by the corresponding slow energy channel. This arrangement has the advantage of reducing the number of events at the time-to-amplitude converter (TAC), but the delay introduced by the processing electronics in the slow channel must be compensated by a fixed delay inserted in the fast channel before the coincidence circuitry.
