Abstract
A parallel plate avalanche counter (PPAC) has been developed to serve as a radioactive beam monitor detector for the REX-ISOLDE project at CERN. The PPAC has a compact design with an active diameter of 4 cm, a low effective thickness of ∼1 mg/cm2, a spatial resolution in the x and y directions of 1.6 mm, an applicability for all heavy ions with Z≥2, and a large dynamical range in counting rates of up to 109 s−1 due to single particle or current readout, respectively.
