Description
Liquid and solid xenon were investigated as scintillator media for the detection of charged particles. The LET dependance of the integral light output was studied in a wide range of ionization density using alpha and beta particles and heavy ions of 1.4 MeV/ amu. With solid xenon. scintillation decay times were measured applying the delayed single-photon method. With liquid xenon, a compact transportable detector unit coupled to a LN/sub 2/-cryostat was designed as a detector for medium energy heavy ions. With an integrated solid state detector this unit can advantageously be applied as detector telescope for particle identification
