Abstract
The ratio of maximum to minimum pulse sizes which can be simultaneously recorded by a kick sorter is limited by the curvature of the characteristic of its biased amplifier over a finite region of input potentials. The extent of this region can be reduced from a few volts to about 10 millivolts by including the nonlinear elements of the amplifier in its negative feedback loop. An amplifier is described which embodies this principle and also provides a discriminator and gate circuit.Keywords
