The techniques of modern network theory have been applied to some of the problems of pulse shaping in nuclear pulse amplifiers. A technique referred to as pole-zero cancellation has been evolved which permits a system designer to specify the pulse decay time at the amplitude-limiting section of the system and the pulse shape at the final output as completely independent parameters. The deadtime of the amplifier system can be reduced by orders of magnitude without degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the usual charge-injection system has been examined, and a simple, linear lumped-element network has been evolved which makes possible an improved evaluation of the amplifier response to detector charge pulses.
The one-nucleon transfer reactions 2 Si("0, "O)29Si and 'Si("0,'9F)~A1 have been studied at 352 MeV bombarding energy. Several strong transitions were identified in each reaction and analyzed using the distorted-wave Born approximation. A shallow, surface-transparent optical potential of E-18 type did not give acceptable results, but deeper, more conventional potentials fitted the data without any need for renormalization.Data on the same reactions taken earlier at 56 MeV were reanalyzed and the results compared to the present experiment. The use of the distorted-eaves approximation is examined critically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
