Resumo

In nuclear experiments it is often required to design an instrument capable of detecting pulses from among a train of random pulses produced by nuclear reactions. The asynchronous random pulse sampler is being developed here to sample out the first pulse in amplitude and width from among the trains of random pulses. The pulse that arrives immediately after the command “a = 1” is given, is considered as the first pulse. Now if, during the transition (0→1) of “a” a pulse is already present, then it is the second pulse that must be considered as our first pulse which must be sampled out. All the first pulses must be sampled entirely in amplitude and width even if the gate “a” closes before the sampling of a first pulse is complete.
