Re: Plastic Scintillator Preamp Circuit

This area is for discussions involving any fusion related radiation metrology issues. Neutrons are the key signature of fusion, but other radiations are of interest to the amateur fusioneer as well.

Richard -- it might be useful to include the Power rail voltages -- I take it, that it is for a differential supply , but is it 12v or 15v or what ?-- because of the current balance,- does it matter? but nice a one and is most appreciated ---- have you a double sided PCB layout for this circuit? -- If not it may be interesting to design one -- ( if I ever get time ) regards John

The rail voltages are +/- 15V, though +/-12 would probably work as well, seeing as I took great pains to reduce supply sensitivity in the design. I would choose the higher rail voltges for a bit more dynamic range. The board layout I used was single sided. Though this goes against the grain of convention, it works well if the proper precautions are taken. The results speak for themselves.....
