  • Abstract
    The ability of a channel multiplier to record radiation incident through its side walls has been studied, using mono-energetic MeV-electrons and protons and cosmic ray muons. The results indicate that about 25% of the total length of the detector is sensitive ta this radiation with a detection efficiency depending on particle type and energy.
