“…1. It is based on a 90 • coplanar arrangement of four BaF 2 detectors, eight fast constant-fraction differential discriminators (CFDD) (Constructed upon a modification of a fast CFD [5] that was based on a circuit suggestion of Pouthas and Engrand [6], by adding a third comparator to perform pulse energy selection; Martínez et al, private communication), one TAC (Canberra 2143), an EPROM-based RC unit and an 8 K Nucleus MCA-card hosted in a 486-processor PC, all home-made (except the TAC and the MCA card), connected in a fast-fast coincidence logic ( [4], Pasquevich, private communication, 1988). The cost of the spectrometer is around 15,000 US$.…”
