In this research a unique linear pulse amplifier was developed that significantly reduces the spread in pulse amplitudes of those pulses selected from a Ge(Li) detector by a single channel analyzer. This circuit utilizes an operational amplifier with its closed-loop gain automatically controlled by a P-channel junction field.-effect transistor. The amplification is adjusted for each pulse such that the output pulses are constant in amplitude. The performance of the system was analyzed with a multichannel analyzer and it was shown that an improvement in pulse amplitude variation of as much as 29.1 percent was achieved.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
