Sub MeV particles detection and identification in the MUNU detector
Description
We report on the performance of a 1 m3 Time Projection Chambers filled with CF4 at 3 bar, immersed in liquid scintillator and viewed by photomultipliers. Particle detection, event identification and localization achieved by measuring both the electric current and the scintillation light are presented. Particular features of α particle detection are also discussed. Finally, the 54Mn photopeak, reconstructed from the Compton scattering and recoil angle is shown
