Overview
R1443 is a 32/64 channels Charge Sensitive Preamplifier in a 19ʺ rack unit (120/230 V 50/60 Hz AC Powered). It has been developed in collaboration with Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France, and it is specifically designed for operating with neutron detectors as 3He or BF3 tubes. Given the number of input channels, it can handle up to 16/32 position-sensitive tubes, each tube having two outputs, one for each end.
The output signal of each channel has an RC of 1 μs. This guarantees excellent performances even at high rates exceeding 100 kcps. The output of this preamplifier is typically readout by ADC and Digital Pulse Processing electronics in order to perform specific filtering to achieve the best charge, timing and axial position measurements.
