PHOTOMULTIPLIER PULSE SHAPING CIRCUIT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4155480
An output circuit for a photomultiplying tube of a scintillation-type radiation detector having two phosphors with different decay times is described. In the circuit separate signals are removed from the dynode and from the anode of the photomultiplier tube. The two signals are passed through separate circuits and then algebraically combined at a junction point. Where the photomultiplier views a composite phosphor, the signal may be separated into its individual components. Pulses are thus trimmed and shaped to provide desired wave forms. (A.G.W.)
