Design of the constant fraction of pulse height trigger for optimum time resolution.
D.A. Gedcke,W.J. McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the constant fraction of pulse height trigger has been shown to provide the optimum time resolution with a scintillator-photomultiplier system, and a circuit suitable for general use is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A constant fraction of pulse height trigger for optimum time resolution
D.A. Gedcke,W.J. McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fast discriminator has been designed which triggers at a constant fraction of the input signal amplitude, when operated by the anode current pulse from a photomultiplier tube, making it possible to obtain optimum timing over a 100 : 1 dynamic range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two pion correlations in heavy ion collisions
W. A. Zajc,James A. Bistirlich,R. Bossingham,H. R. Bowman,C. W. Clawson,Kenneth M. Crowe,K.A. Frankel,J. G. Ingersoll,J. M. Kurck,C. J. Martoff,D. L. Murphy,John O. Rasmussen,J. P. Sullivan,E. Yoo,Osamu Hashimoto,Masahiro Koike,W.J. McDonald,J. P. Miller,P. Truöl +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the mutual Coulomb repulsion of two like-charged pions, and of the pion-nuclear Coulomb interaction, on the two-pion correlation function is analyzed.

TL;DR: The tensor polarization of the recoil deuteron in elastic {ital e}-{ital d} scattering has been measured and is in reasonable agreement with expectations based on the nucleon-meson description of nuclear dynamics.
