PULSE HEIGHT INDICATOR

Abstract

A method is described which was developed for the analysis of pulses produced by the various detectors of an extensive air shower array. It is applicable to many other experiments whenever the need arises for the determination of instantaneous pulse heights at the times of occurrence of certain physical phenomena. An application of digital methods is presented for pulse measurement, which was found very satisfactory where some 25 sources of information had to be analyzed in 16 amplitude channels each. The display consists of dekatrons, where each dekatron (in conjunction with one neon bulb) represents one source of information and the amplitude channel is given by the reading of the dekatron (the neon lamp supplies the information if the number on the dekatron is below or above 10).
