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.

Electronics Settings:

TrigOut goes to Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse Gain=X6, Fine GAin=7.5ns && Integrate=20ns) and after amplification to ADC
StripOut is used as a trigger and gate. The signal from the strip is amplified by the Timing Filter Amplifier (Coarse Gain=X20, Fine Gain=12.5ns && Integrate=500ns)
The Threshold on DIFF. CFD is set to 0.70 (ULD=9.9~10 && LLD=0.5)

HV Settings: [math]V_{Drift}=3200[/math] Volts and [math]V_{GEM}=2900[/math] Volts.

Using again only TrigOut and the signal from the Strip.

Electronics Setup: done (might change CFD threshold)

Electronics Setup

TrigOut and the stripsignal, both are used as a pulse and go to ADC.
The pulse from the Strips is used as a trigger and gate.

The pulse from the trigout is delayed, Amplified by the Timinig Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=8.5 && Integrate=20ns).
Signal from the Strips goes to the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X20, Fine_Gain=10.5 && Integrate=20ns). Amplified pulse is devided into two signals, One is sued as a trigger and gate and second as a pulse for ADC. The first one(gate && trigger) is amplified using the Timing Filter Amplifier(Coarse_Gain=X2, Fine_Gain=10 && Integrate=50ns) and used in DIFF. CFD for gate and trigger. Second output from the Amplified strips, goes to delay box(TENNELEC TC 215 DELAY AMPLIFIER) and putted to the ADC.

The results shown below are for different Diff. CFD values.

1). Threshold Values: Threshold=1.90, ULD=9.65 && LLD=2.10
