A parallel plate avalanche detector for low energy ion identification

A setup for identifying low-energy (1–10 MeV) ions with charges Z ≥ 1 by simultaneously measuring the energy losses and the time of flight is described. The setup is composed of a multiwire proportional chamber and a strip silicon detector, which are used to measure the ion energy, and two low-press...

Description
Summary:A setup for identifying low-energy (1–10 MeV) ions with charges Z ≥ 1 by simultaneously measuring the energy losses and the time of flight is described. The setup is composed of a multiwire proportional chamber and a strip silicon detector, which are used to measure the ion energy, and two low-pressure avalanche wireless detectors for measuring the energy losses and the time of flight. Results obtained in measuring α particles from 226 Ra source and p , Be, C, and O ions produced on the ITs-100 cyclotron at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions are presented.
