Abstract
A liquid scintillator having an area of five square meters has been developed for the observation of the extensive air showers in cosmic rays. The scintillating liquid, in the form of a disk 10 ft in diameter and 6 in. deep, is viewed by a single 14‐in. Dumont type K1328 photomultiplier tube. The associated circuitry provides a gate whose length is proportional to the logarithm of the scintillator pulse height over a range in pulse height of 2000:1. The length of this gate can be either measured and recorded on a Berkeley EPUT timing meter or converted linearly to a pulse height and analyzed by a multichannel discriminator.Keywords
