Abstract :
The authors describe application specific integrated circuit based neutron coincidence electronics which has been developed as a self-contained neutron coincidence analyzer for portable plutonium assay systems and as a NIM module for use in plant-specific applications. They also discuss a composite charge amplifier/discriminator unit which is based on the Amptek A-111 device
