``On-Line'' Operation of a Digital Computer in Nuclear Physics Experiments

Abstract

The instrumentation necessary for coupling a commercial digital computer to several nuclear physics experiments in an ``on‐line'' operation has been designed and constructed. Multiparameter experiments utilizing the ``on‐line'' operation include fission fragment mass ratio measurements, neutron time‐of‐flight measurements, and the measurement of prompt $\mathrm{\nu ̄}$ for fissionable materials.
