Development and Current Status of the Standard Nuclear Instrument Module (Nim) System (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Development and Current Status of the Standard Nuclear Instrument Module (Nim) System
In 1948 Bardeen and Brattain of the Bell Telephone Laboratories first announced the point contact transistor5 and this was followed a few years later by the development of the junction transistor. Though tran sistors are extremely small compared to vacuum tubes and consume far less power, transistorized instruments that emerged in the 1950's were none the - less constructed in a manner quite similar to that of their vacuum tube predecessors. Thus the instruments utilized l9 - inch front panels and contained their own dc power supplies operated from the ac line. It rapidly became apparent that such construction was quite uneconomical and inefficient, that a number of transistorized instruments in modular form could be accommodated in the space occupied by a single l9-inch panel, and that a single dc power supply could provide the necessary power to such a multiplicity of instruments.

Development and Current Status of the Standard Nuclear Instrument Module (Nim)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the compelling history and current applications of the ingenious invention known as the Nuclear Instrument Module (NIM). Developed in the 1960s, the NIM emerged as a revolutionary solution for nuclear physics, offering a standardized and flexible approach to instrumentation. The author, an expert in the field, provides a comprehensive overview of the NIM system, exploring its impact on nuclear physics and its potential for broader applications. The book delves into the challenges faced in the field prior to the NIM's advent and explains how its modular design, interchangeability, and power supply compatibility revolutionized experimental setups. Through the lens of the NIM, the book sheds light on the broader evolution of scientific instrumentation, highlighting the shift towards modularity and standardization. It explores the advantages of the NIM system, including its ability to optimize and restructure instrumentation systems, reduce downtime, facilitate interchangeability between laboratories, and defer obsolescence. In examining the thematic depth of the book, readers will gain insights into the collaborative efforts and innovative thinking that drove the development of the NIM. The author also discusses the system's potential for use beyond nuclear physics, demonstrating its adaptability to various fields of science and engineering. In summation, this book provides a rich historical account and in-depth analysis of the NIM system, solidifying its place as a groundbreaking invention that continues to shape the landscape of scientific instrumentation and innovation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260980182_0
