Description

The operating principle of a single output logarithmic detector suitable for heavy ions nuclear studies is described. The basic module consists of a three stage ΔE-E telescope: A gas section, a solid-state detector and a scintillator (CsI(Tl)). Preliminary results on the possibility to collect on the silicon detector the ionization charge produced in the gas section are presented. A proper analysis of the signal can be used to identify the response of each detector stage. (orig.)
