Signal Amplifiers:

A custom circuit with a linear amplifier is attached to each PMT in the focus box. This circuit is based on a standard integrated circuit amplifier chip, e.g., Analog Devices AD8009, which has a bandwidth of 1GHz. The targeted gain of the PMT and amplifier provides a signal level of $\sim$2mV/photoelectron.
