A 100 Mc/s DISCRIMINATOR AND SCALER

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instr. Methods
The discriminator and scaler described are capable of handling up to 4 x 10/sup 6/ pulses per machine burst of 200 msec length and scaling up to 5 pulses in a period of about 50 nsec. Primarily the instrument is a scaler, and by equalizing the sensitivity of the two states of the first bistable discriminator action is obtained. The bistables are made with transistors rather than tunnel diodes. The scaler consists of three cascaded binary stages. Circuit diagrams of the threshold amplifier and scaler are shown. Curves show the resolving time, threshold vs input pulse, and threshold vs temperature. In use at the CERN proton synchrotron, these instruments performed reliably over long periods. (A.G.W.)
