A Low Frequency Phase Shift Method, Ronnie Carroll Mcmillan
Masters Theses
"The phase shift method of measuring atomic lifetimes is particularly useful because it allows us to make measurements in the steady state mode instead of in the transient mode. High frequency phase shift techniques cause many problems. The equipment, which was designed and built to make low frequency phase shift techniques possible, is shown schematically and discussed. The new experimental techniques employed in our apparatus are a phase multiplier and a unique method of using a photomultiplier as a mixer. In the photomultiplier the final dynode is used as the grid of a triode. The next to the last dynode …
