Title: Electronic detector head for helium-3 counters, Model I

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6382488

This model of Electronic System is coded TEC-He3-I. It is a Charge Sensitive Preamplifier/R.C. Shaping Amplifier/Voltage Amplifier/Low Level Discriminator developed for instrumentation employing proportional counters He3 in the pulse counting mode of operation. The housing size allows mounting close to a detector head with three counter tubes He3 direct coupled. The digital output drives four meters of unterminated coaxial cable. Up to eight digital outputs are mixed in a Digital Mixer Unit and sent through a ten meters transmission coaxial cable terminated by a Line Receiver Optocoupler to avoid degradation of the pulse width and ground loop.
