Abstract

A parallel plate avalanche detector developed for the detection of fission fragments in particle induced fission reactions is described. The active area is 6 × 10 cm²; it is position sensitive in one dimension with a resolution of 2.5 mm. The detector can withstand a count rate of 25 000 fission fragments s⁻¹.

Preliminary results on a position sensitive parallel plate avalanche counter with a distributed constants delay-line cathode
1985, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A position sensitive parallel plate (PSPP) stop detector for heavy ions with an active area of 70 × 76 mm² has been developed.
The cathode is a printed circuit board with parallel strips which form a delay-line. The position resolution is better than 1 mm in the x direction (orthogonal to the strips) and better than 2 cm in the y direction (along the strips). The anode time resolution is about 300 ps fwhm.
A versatile large area parallel plate avalanche counter (PPAC) for broad-range magnetic spectrographs
1983, Nuclear Instruments and Methods In Physics Research
A versatile parallel plate avalanche counter has been developed for the identification of nuclear reaction products. A novel construction of the transmission electrodes with an active area of 354×22 mm² is presented in detail. The counter under test was filled with n-heptane vapour at a pressure of 18 Torr. Its timing properties were investigated by means of the time-of-flight technique employing 4.6 MeV α-particles and a solid state detector. The time resolution was 380 ps (fwhm). In addition, the electric characteristics of the counter, the energy resolution in the range of low-energy α-particles, the inhomogeneity of the detector geometry, and the non-linearity of the internal time delay along the electrodes are discussed.
