Pickup and interference in particle astrophysics experiments: techniques and tools
John McMillan
Contamination of signals by pickup and interference is a recurrent problem in physics experiments, the suppression of which consumes much time and effort. Techniques are presented…
A rapid and accurate method of finding light leaks in photomultiplier systems
John McMillan
A rapid method of finding light leaks in photomultiplier systems is described, in which an audible signal derived from the light level is produced. It uses equipment commonly avail…
