Description

The detector system combines cellulose nitrate plastics and nuclear emulsion. The energy interval covered is about 500-700 MeV/nucleon. In the emulsion range and track width are measured. Cone lengths and range are measured in the plastics. The charge of a particle can be determined both in emulsion and in plastics. The mass is determined by relating cone lengths to residual range. One advantage of this detector system is the high rejection of interacting particles. Mass resolution is discussed. (orig./WB)

Abstract (German)

Das Detektorsystem kombiniert Zellulosenitrat-Plastik und Kernemulsion. Das ueberdeckte Energieintervall ist etwa 500-700 MeV/Nukleon. In der Emulsion werden Reichwerte und Spurbreite gemessen. Im Plastik werden Konuslaenge und Reichweite gemessen. Die Ladung eines Teilchens kann in Emulsion und in Plastik bestimmt werden. Die Masse wird bestimmt aus zusammengehoerigen Konuslaengen und Restreichweiten. Ein Vorzug dieses Detektorsystems ist das hohe Sperrvermoegen fuer wechselwirkende Teilchen. Das Massenaufloesevermoegen wird diskutiert. (orig./WB)
