JLAB Discriminators

First version was developed by James Proffitt and is used in tagger system. It was tested by Sergey Pozdnyakov. Results of tests are presented on the next few slides:

• Width distribution ( eps pdf)

• Threshold distribution ( eps pdf)

• Resolution of Leading Edge for JLab Discr. ( pdf eps)

• Resolution of Leading Edge for LeCroy 2313 Discr. (for compare) ( pdf eps)

• Resolution of Trailing Edge for JLab Discr. ( pdf eps)

Following changes were recommended to make that board suitable for CLAS12:

• remove preamplifier

• add test input

• add second output connector

As on October 11, 2007 the possibility of board redesign was discussed with Volker, Chris and Stan Majewski, and we are waiting for Stan's final word.

Nov 16, 2007 James responded, asking for details.
