Figure 7
Average temporal signal profiles observed with the SCIPP assembly, in bins of delivered pulse intensity. The top plot shows the full 150 ns digitization window (for ease of comparison with the signal from the Sydor assembly); the bottom plot shows the pulse behaviour over the first 10 ns of the excitation. To maintain a signal at the oscilloscope digitizer within the dynamic range 0–1 V, RF attenuators of known value were added, as needed, to the signal path. Here, pulse heights are adjusted to account for signal-path attenuation, so the vertical axis represents the magnitude of the signal pulse across the shunt resistance. |
