Simms, P. C.

The time-to-amplitude converter is designed for time measurements in the 10^-7 to 10^-11 sec range. The time resolution of the system is defined as the full width at half maximum of the amplitude distribution produced by the time converter in response to prompt coincidence events. The best time resolution obtained was 4.7 x 10^-10 sec. The time converter and all of the accessory circuits are described.
