Description
Summary:An eight-channel pulse-shape comparator board is designed to discriminate the signals from fast scintillation detectors. Each channel of the comparator board has guaranteed output with maximum speed of 20 ns. The simple design and low cost per channel make it preferable for use in cosmic rays as well as in extensive air shower (EAS) experiments. A description of the environmental operation and test of the electronics is presented. This device is presently used in an EAS experiment, Gauhati University, Assam, India. We present here, details about the hardware aspect of the electronics. Results of the comparator electronics are also presented.
