Abstract

We have developed a LSI-11/23 computer-driven CAMAC data acquisition system. The 64 silicondetector system is being used to investigate the alpha and spontaneous fission activities of short-lived transfermium isotopes by the real-time monitoring of the mother-daughter alpha decay sequence. A unique modular pulse processing electronics system was designed to simplify set up and calibration. The computer adjusts the gain of the CAMAC shaping amplifiers enabling the calibration and alignment of all 64 of the 1 k alpha spectra to within 0.5 channel in less than 10 minutes.
