Response of high resolution drift tubes to relativistic heavy ions
(Elsevier, 1985-11-15)
We report the results of various tests undertaken in a program to develop a drift tube hodoscope for a cosmic ray balloon experiment intended to search for extragalactic antimatter. Included are studies of mechanical ...
A water Cherenkov counter sensitive to nonwaveshifted ultraviolet Cherenkov photons
(Elsevier, 1986-11-15)
We describe a prototype water Cherenkov counter which has been built and tested with relativistic cosmic ray muons. An analysis of the expected photoelectron yield is described. The predicted result of 315 +/- 31 photoelectrons ...
Calibration of Tuffak polycarbonate track detector for identification of relativistic nuclei
(Elsevier, 1984)
We discuss response of Tuffak polycarbonate to relativistic heavy nuclei using two methods, measurement of the minor axis diameter and of the length of the track cone, to determine charge resolution. At Z = 92 (0.95 GeV/u ...
