Abstract
This paper describes a timing circuit for the measurement of short time intervals between pulses from Geiger‐Mueller counters. By means of a direct comparison with the frequency of a piezoelectric crystal time intervals from 0 to 10 microseconds can be measured within ±0.03 microsecond. This circuit has already been used at Climax, Colorado for the determination of the mean life of cosmic‐ray mesotrons.Keywords
