IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO NUCLEAR PARTICLE DISCRIMINATORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4001700
A scintillation particle discriminator is described. A dynode of the phototube is operable at a potential difference between it and the next subsequent electrode sufficiently small to produce space-charge limitation of the current leaving the dynode. The discriminator has means for deriving an output pulse from the dynode, and amplitude discriminating means for accepting output pulses above a given amplitude. The dynode described is the last dynode; the next subsequent electrode being the anode. (N.W.R.)
