Abstract
A logic circuit monitors the outputs of R, F and T probability generators, provides an output pulse, and increments or decreases a counter, the output of which is fed back to the T probability generator. R represents the rate or frequency of a random background, F represents the fraction of events in the random background R that will have associated coincident pairs, and T a respective die-away time. The parameters R, F and T are decided by the user. Such a pulse generator may simulate the output from a neutron well, and may be used to test neutron coincidence systems in a simple and rigorous manner.
