A Stanford Pulse Generator, Model DG535, was used to create signals similar to the GEM output pulse.  Two identical signals ('''A''' && '''B''') were injected into the Timing Filter Amplifiers to set the amplifier gain of each channel to the same value. Pulse '''A''' was injected to the Timing Filter Amplifier, Model 474-09 and Signal '''B''' was going into the Model 474-09. Integration time was set to 20 ns on each Timing Filter Amplifier. Coarse gain and Fine gain were set so that the Amplification for each channel was the same.
 +
 
 +
After matching the amplifier gain, the output pulse '''A''' from the Timing Filter Amplifier, Model 474-09, was tee'd. One output was amplified again, using Timing Filter Amplifier and the second output was delayed and putted into the ADC with delayed and amplified '''B''' pulse.
 +
 
 +
First two histograms below show the ADC results for two amplified pulses, and the last histogram shows the ratio of ADC1/ADC5. As one can notice, the charge ratio is close to one, mean value is ~ 1.<br>

Will increasing the Amplifier integration time result in one peak instead of 2?  Try it.

Not a good idea to increase Amplifier integration time, because it decreases amplitude of the pulse. That means I need to start everything all over again. But I guess I need to do that.

Two Identical A and B Pulse Generator Output Signals
Amplified Pulse Generator output signals A_494-09 && B_494-06


A Stanford Pulse Generator, Model DG535, was used to create signals similar to the GEM output pulse. Two identical signals (A && B) were injected into the Timing Filter Amplifiers to set the amplifier gain of each channel to the same value. Pulse A was injected to the Timing Filter Amplifier, Model 474-09 and Signal B was going into the Model 474-09. Integration time was set to 20 ns on each Timing Filter Amplifier. Coarse gain and Fine gain were set so that the Amplification for each channel was the same.

After matching the amplifier gain, the output pulse A from the Timing Filter Amplifier, Model 474-09, was tee'd. One output was amplified again, using Timing Filter Amplifier and the second output was delayed and putted into the ADC with delayed and amplified B pulse.

First two histograms below show the ADC results for two amplified pulses, and the last histogram shows the ratio of ADC1/ADC5. As one can notice, the charge ratio is close to one, mean value is ~ 1.

The signal below represents a measurement of the Trig out signal from a 10 cm x 10 cm ionization chamber with 3 GEM preamplifiers. The chamber gas a 90/10 % mixture of Arcon and CO2. The Drift HV was set to 3200 Volts and the GEM preamplifier HV distribution network was set to 2900 Volts. The V792 CAEN ADC channels have a gain of 100 fC/channel. The main signal peak appears at channel number 759 and represents an accumulation of [math]75.9 \pm 4[/math] pC of charge.
