Goal

Determine appropriate amplifier for a photomultiplier tube to be used in a detector, so as to prevent the background noise from drowning out the signal from the PMT.

Challenges

  • The amplifier must have a high enough slew rate to catch the signal from the photomultipler tube.
  • Lower amplifier cost would be preferable.

Amplifiers

There are two models of amplifiers we will test for usage in the detector: the LM 741C operational amplifier and the LMH 730154 high speed differential amplifier.

741C Op-Amp

Pros: Cheap ($0.75)

Cons:

Second Amp

Pros:

Cons: Relatively expensive (~$10),
