Test of a lithium/plastic foam transition radiation counter
Description
A new type of transition radiation detector was used in experiment NA 3 at CERN S.P.S. The radiator was built with 500 lithium foils, in alternance with thin polystyrene foam foils. The detection of the X-rays took place in a double MWPC with a common cathode plane, filled with a xenon-CO2 mixture; the two chambers were connected to the same amplifiers. With magnetic bending of electrons between radiator and detector, 85% efficiency for 3 GeV electrons were obtained, very close to the predicted value for this structure, without pulse height analysis, the electron-hadron rejection was about a factor 30
