An eight-channel system for neutron-nuclear investigations by the time-of-flight method

Equipment and software for recording time-of-flight spectra with a small channel width (10 ns) in precision experiments under conditions of low neutron beam intensities or recording rare events have been designed. An eight-input time encoder operates without losses when the signal intensity is up to 105s−1 at any of the eight inputs. The use of the USB interface ensures the system mobility. The developed system integration procedure from components in the executed format allows one to obtain a distributed system, ensures a higher succession of the software, and the possibility of assembling the system by the user.
