Abstract

A large-acceptance Bragg curve spectrometer with a longitudinal electron collection field and a segmented anode has been constructed and tested. The effects on the charge resolution of the entrance angle and entrance position of the incident particle have been studied. Simulations have been done in order to isolate the contribution to the overall detector performance of the signal-shaping electronics from that of the intrinsic design of the detector.

    Citation Excerpt :

    This paper describes the BCC with an active cathode to improve the energy threshold for the fragment spectrum measurement, and its application in measuring the fragment production cross-sections in proton-induced reactions from tens of MeV that are of great interest from the viewpoint of radiation effects. A BCC is a parallel plate ionization chamber with a Frisch grid placed in front of the anode to shield it from the electric field between the cathode and the grid (Fig. 1) [5–21]. The chamber has a thin entrance window that allows an incident fragment to pass through.
