Abstract
An experimental investigation of the characteristics. of parallel plate fission chambers with fast (1-2 nsec rise time) current-pulse amplifiers has shown that chambers can be constructed which produce pulses with widths of 10 nsec and unambiguous separation of alpha particle pulses from the fission product pulses. Further improvement of this separation by geometric variations in chamber designs is discussed.
