A Synchronized Multiple Pulser for Particle Detector Simulation.

Abstract

A pulse generator has been developed for use with nuclear particle detection systems. The instrument simulates output charge signals obtained from an array of solid-state detectors, providing variable timing delays from 0 to 1000 ns between channels and pulse amplitudes of either polarity up to 100 MeV, referred to a silicon detector. It has been built in both two-channel and three-channel versions. Pulse amplitudes and timing delays are read directly from controls mounted on the instrument face. Amplitude nonlinearity is less than 1% of full-scale on all ranges. Timing accuracy is 2 ns or 2%. The pulse repetition rate is 1000 Hz. Circuit diagrams, photographs, and calibration procedures are included. (Author)
