Discriminators

All needed specifications can be found within the appropriate manual

CAEN N841 Leading Edge Discriminator

Modes: Update and Non-Update

  • For use with He3 tube, Update vs Non-update mode did not seem to make a difference in discriminator output.
  • See pages 10 & 12 in user manual

File:CAEN N841 Manual.pdf

Lecroy 821 Quad Discriminator

File:LRS 821 Specifications.pdf

Tektronix DPO 4104 Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope

For reference: Input to discriminators is spec amp output with the following settings

Course gain: 10

Fine gain: 1

Shaping type: Gaussian

Shaping time: 2us

Continued Investigations

  • Sourced a function generator

Function generator: Protek 93120 Digital Synthesis Arbitrary Function Generator/Counter

Measurements

I used a DC offset to create a purely negative pulse using a square wave signal ranging from 0 to -1V

Run Number Configuration Generator Rate Generator Pulse Amplitude (Set) Generator Pulse Height (Measured) Counts Run Time (Sec) Count Rate (Hz) Uncertainty
1 Function Gen feeding Scalar 1.00 KHz 1.00V ~1V 100000 100 1.000KHz
2 Function Gen feeding Scalar 1.00 KHz 1.00V ~1V 100000 100 1.000KHz
3 Function Gen feeding Scalar 1.00 KHz 1.00V ~1V 100000 100 1.000KHz
4 Function Gen feeding Scalar 1.00 KHz 1.00V ~1V 100000 100 1.000KHz
5 Function Gen feeding Scalar 1.00 KHz 1.00V ~1V 100000 100 1.000KHz

I used a DC offset to create a purely negative pulse using a sine wave signal ranging from 0 to -1V that is discriminated by the Lecroy disc.
