Abstract
A fast scintillation detector preamplifier is designed, which uses an operational video amplifier (type: LM733). Despite its simplicity, the preamplifier exhibits good noise and speed parameters. The amplifier is specially designed for an extensive air shower experiment [T. Bezboruh, K. Boruah, and P. K. Boruah, Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A 410, 206 (1998); Astropart. Phys. 11, 395 (1999)], Gauhati University, Assam, India. Plastic scintillators and fast photomultiplier tubes are used in the experiment to detect ultra high energy cosmic ray events. Here we report the characteristics of the amplifier including the hardware and its performances in the experiment.
