Description

Physical properties of the MOS-structure n-type silicon breakdown heavy ion counters with 50 mm2 sensitive area were investigated. Detection efficiency is approximately 100%. Heavy ion registration energy threshold is (22 +- 2) MeV/mg cm2 in silicon dioxide. Operation resource for the fission fragment registration does not exceed 3 X 106 fragm/cm2. The counters have good stability and have no background when irradiated with light charged particles. (Auth.)
