INCREASING THE STABILITY OF RADIATION RECORDING BY A SCINTILLATION COUNTER

OSTI ID:4335374
A device is proposcd which compensates, automatically, the change in amplification factor of a photomultiplier by changing subsequent amplification of impulses. The equipment consists of a scintiliation counter, cathode follower, first amplifier with controlled amplification factor, a second (linear) amplifier, amplitude descriminator, scaler, and automatic regulator. Impulses of linear amplifier output reach the automatic regulator (which operates according to the principle of a peak-reading voltmeter) which controls both the amplification factor of the first amplifler and the actuation threshold of the descriminator. The device described compensates satisfactorily supply voltage change and the effect of photomultiplier fatigue at loads of less than 100 impulses per second.
