DIRECT-VIEW VIDICON SCANNING SYSTEM FOR SPARK CHAMBERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4078183
From 9th Scintillation and Semiconductor Counter Symposium, Washington, D. C., Feb. 1963. A vidicon camera tube furnishes an ideal means for directiy viewing spark-chamber events. By digitizing spark locations initially, one can perform the subsequent circuit logic by digital-circuit techniques. Information stored on magnetic tape can be presented in a format suitable for immediate analysis by a computer. A recent system for scanning two views of 12 spark- chamber gaps is described along with plans for future developments. (auth)
