  • Abstract
    For detection of charged particles from 1 to 60 MeV, three solid state detectors are utilized in a dE/dx telescope configuration. Signals are summed digitally and displayed on a 2-dimensional "flicker box" and transmitted off-line to a larger computer for "tail corrections", dead layer corrections, and final analysis. Time-of-flight is utilized for nonpenetrating particles. p, D, T, 3He, ¿, etc. can be distinguished from 1 to 60 MeV with ~180 keV system energy resolution.
