Abstract

The stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer consists of three plastic scintillation detectors, three rectangular GSO(Ce) scintillators (43×43×43 mm³) and a large cylindrical GSO(Ce) one (φ62×120 mm³) has been developed to measure proton emission spectra up to 450 MeV. As a preliminary test, γ-ray from ¹³⁷Cs and cosmic-rays were measured. Making comparison between the results by the stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer and the ones by the stacked NaI(Tl) spectrometer, the performances of the stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer in intermediate energy region are discussed
