A SONIC SPARK LOCATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4836905
A single-gap spark detector is described, through which ionizing particles may pass only at certain locations. A piezoelectric transducer and time delay circuit are used to determine the location at which the spark occurs, by measuring the time required for the sound from the spark to reach the transducer. The locating system has only a single transducer, and can therefore measure only onedimensional distances. (T. F.H.)
