Fabio,
I have also been experimenting with avalanche pulse generators.
I have documented my experiments here:
This the tip of the iceberg, or the begining of an adventure.
I have since bought a Tek 11801 and SD24 & SD26 sampling heads.
The next step is to build the circuit shown in Linear Technology application note AN-122
The circuit is shown on page 12.
This will give me a pretrigger signal to trigger the sampling scope.
I have also been looking at compensation circuits for cable dribble.

You need to take in account the slowing factor of the cable, about 0.67. So 1.0 meter/0.67 ~~ 1.5 meter. Then you have a round trip time through the cable at 3 meters. Thus 10 nS per meter.

Some questions: why is the pulse wide 10nS per meter?
