Abstract

The hybrid analog multiplexer, in use on the ALEPH experiment at the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) is a variation of a previously described system which was designed for four-bunch operation of LEP, corresponding to a beam crossing period of 22.5 mu s, and is not compatible with the proposed 36-bunch (2.5- mu s period) operation. The system described operates with a beam crossing period only slightly longer than the trigger delay time and at counting rates greater than 10/sup 4//s per channel without sacrificing the ease of calibration of the previous system.<>
