7 MHz Particle Identifying PHA
We have developed a high speed Pulse Height Analyzer (PHA) as a tool for plasma diagnostics using neutron spectra. Histograms of 10 ms duration form time-slice data on plasma buildup and decay. Particle identification, energy digitizing, memory routing, and add-l store can be completed at greater than a 7 MHz rate; acquisition speed is limited by the liquid scintillator.
