Abstract

The light output response of Pilot U scintillator for stopped charged particles has been measured for 4He, 6Li, 12C, 16O, 20Ne and 40Ar ions incident at various energies up to 20 MeV/nucleon. From these we derived a systematic description of the variation of the scintillation parameters with the charge and energy of the projectile. The suitability of such a detector for the focal plane of a heavy ion magnetic spectrometer is discussed.
