Description

A burst length discrimination system has been developed for the rejection of background events in a gas scintillation proportional counter intended for use in X-ray astronomy. The system utilized a dual constant fraction trigger (CFT) which could determine risetimes from 0.5 to 12 (mu)s. The principle of the dual constant fraction trigger is discussed. (Auth.)
