Digital Data Acquisition and Processing for a Neutron-Gamma-Ray Imaging System

摘要

A digital, data-acquisition system for use with a large number of detectors was set up at the University of Michigan. Fast waveform digitizers from CAEN Technologies with 8 channels were synchronized to create a fully scalable system, with a current set-up of 32 channels. While some of the system's limitations are still being investigated, the excellent time resolution of the system enabled accurate time-of-flight measurements at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE).
