WIDE-BAND CHARGE-SENSITIVE PREAMPLIFIER FOR PROTON-RECOIL PROPORTIONAL COUNTING.
This report describes a solid-state charge-sensitive preamplifier for use with proportional counters in proton-recoil spectrometers. The preamplifier has a charge gain of 2 x 10 $sup 12$ V/coulomb and exhibits a rise time of 15 nsec, without overshoot, with 10 pF of external input capacity. A high-transconductance field-effect transistor is used in the input stage and near theoretical noise performance is obtained. The circuit is direct-coupled and is compatible with pole-zero compensated amplifier systems. The preamplifier features a 20-V peak output swing to allow high count-rate capability and the amplification of extereme overloads without saturation. (author)
