Overview
A1427 Kit contains a fast preamplifier (A1427) and a discriminator (A1428) assembled together. It is developed by CEA Saclay for the Cabri reactor in Cadarache and it is suitable for fission chambers, boron deposition proportional counters, 3He counters and proton recoil counters.
The A1427 Kit is designed to work with high counting rate and it is specifically studied to be not sensible to the external electromagnetic fields. CAEN provides two versions of the kit with different mechanics and connectors: one for desk use and one made for the Cabri reactor.
A1427 is a fast and low noise current preamplifier with AC coupled input. It hosts two outputs: EOUT (unipolar) that can be integrated to calculate the energy associated to the input signal and FOUT (bipolar) that can be used to calculate the rate of the input signal, discriminating the negative pole using the A1428 discriminator that is designed to fit with A1427. The discriminator thresholds is settable from -1 to -100 mV via a 10 turn rotary handle with lock.
The Kit is available in two different versions one for fission chambers (FC) the other for proton recoil detectors (PR).
We provide A1427 and A1428 separately and in the A1427 Kit configuration, that includes the A1427 and the A1428 assembled together, both for fission chambers and for proton recoil detectors.

The End User further acknowledges and agrees that CAEN owns and shall continue to own all rights, titles, and interests in and to the CAEN Software, including associated intellectual property rights under copyright, trade secrets, patents, or trademark laws. This EULA does not grant the End User any ownership interest in or to the CAEN Software, but only a limited and strictly personal right of use that is revocable in accordance with the terms of this EULA. All rights not expressly granted to the End User are reserved to CAEN or to their respective owners. The structure, organization, and code of the CAEN Software are CAEN’s valuable trade secrets and constitutes CAEN’s confidential information, that cannot be disclosed by the End User without CAEN’s prior written consent.
With regards to the CAEN Software and/or to any of its parts, the End User undertakes not to:
The End User may reproduce the CAEN Software only if such reproduction is strictly necessary for the use of the CAEN Software. Necessary reproductions include the installation of the CAEN Software from the original system disk or from the downloaded installation archive on the mass memory of the hardware, as well as the loading of the CAEN Software into the main memory during CAEN Software operation. Moreover, the End User may reproduce the CAEN Software for backup purposes. However, only one backup copy of the original system disk or the downloaded installation archive may be created and/or stored. Said copy must be marked as a backup. Should a rotational backup of a system’s entire data set, including the CAEN Software programmers, be essential for a fast reactivation of the system following a complete breakdown, the End User may create backup copies in the required quantities. The pertinent system disks shall be marked accordingly. These backup copies may be used for archive purposes in connection with data backup only. The End User will not modify the user guides, operating manuals and release notes made available by CAEN, if any. Such documentation may:
The End User shall take the necessary steps to prohibit unauthorized access to the CAEN Software and its documentation by third parties. The original data media, as well as all backup copies, shall be stored in a secure place, safe from access by unauthorized third parties.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind. CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations (express, implied, oral, and written) with respect to the CAEN Software including without limitation all express, implied, and statutory warranties and conditions of any kind, such as title, non-interference with your enjoyment, authority, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness or suitability for any purpose (whether or not CAEN knows or has reason to know of any such purpose), system integration, accuracy or completeness, results, reasonable care, workmanlike effort, lack of negligence, and lack of viruses, whether alleged to arise under law, by reason of custom or usage in the trade, or by course of dealing. CAEN does not warrant that the CAEN Software will operate uninterrupted or be error free or that defects are correctable or will be corrected. Any service obtained using the CAEN Software is done at the End User’s own discretion and risk, and the End User will be solely responsible for any damage to his/her computer system or loss of data that results from the download and/or use of any such material or service.

The terms set forth herein will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws.
To the extent not prohibited by the applicable laws, in no event shall CAEN be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to the End User’s use of or inability to use the CAEN Software, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if CAEN has been advised of the possibility of such damages. As mentioned in article 6 above, CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind, therefore the End User acknowledges that the use of the CAEN Software shall be at its own risk and the End User waves any right to compensation for any kind of damage or loss directly or indirectly consequential to the use of the CAEN Software. In no event shall CAEN’s total liability to the End User for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the total amount of the fees paid for the CAEN Software license. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations of liability shall apply only to the full extent permitted by the applicable law.
The End User is solely responsible for compliance with agreements the End User has executed with third parties. The End User agrees to indemnify and hold CAEN harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party in connection with or arising out of the End User’s use of the CAEN Software, the End User’s violation of any terms or conditions of the CAEN Software license and/or violation of applicable laws, or the violation of any rights of another person or entity.
