Abstract :
The dependence of the output of a tunnel diode amplitude discriminator on the excess over threshold is analyzed; the input pulse is assumed to be from a scintillation counter. An approximate formula for the maximum delay introduced is given. The results of numerical integration are summarized in a diagram, allowing the calculation of the delay introduced for various values of excess over threshold and of circuit time constants.
