Description

A simple 4π charged-particle sensitive detector useful for γ-ray spectroscopy is described. The detector is a plastic scintillator tube, which surrounds the target. The tube is segmented into four optically isolated cylindrical arcs. The tube is an efficient charged particle hit detector with a very small photon interaction probability. (orig.)
