Noise Suppressed Leading Edge Trigger Technique and Its Application to NaI(Tl) Pulse Timing

Optimum timing using a simple noise suppressed leading edge trigger technique is described. A short review with formulation of time walks and jitters of various leading edge trigger techniques is given in connection with the noise suppression leading edge trigger (NSLET) technique. As a demonstration of the advantage of the NSLET technique, time resolution of a NaI(Tl) detector has been measured and the improved results are compared with the results obtained with conventional techniques.
