Abstract
A technique for developing a fast summing preamplifier for resistive plate counters of the HARP experiment (PS214, CERN) is presented. The classic analog adder has been redesigned to obtain a minimum intrinsic jitter of 26 ps. This jitter has been attained via a trade-off with a charge summation accuracy of ~5%. The summing preamplifier has eight inputs and is based on the principle of summing a 104 × 240-mm2 readout area containing eight strips with dimensions of 104 × 29 mm2. The preamplifier is located inside the chamber. Its conversion factor is 100 mV/pC at a charge collection time of approximately 1 ns. The spread of the systematic timing error at the inputs is less than 30 ps. The power consumption is 350 mW. There are 368 summing amplifiers in the time-of-flight system.
期刊介绍：
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
