  • Abstract
    A novel transition radiation detector (TRD) utilizing superheated superconducting microspheres of tin of 22–26, 27–32 and 32–38 μm in diameter, respectively, has been constructed which is capable of measuring accurately the energy of relativistic high-energy charged particles. The test has been conducted in a high-energy electron beam facility at the CERN PS in the energy range of 1–10 GeV showing an energy dependence of the TR X-ray photon produced and hence the value γ=E/mc2 of the charged particle.
