Abstract

A gas filled avalanche detector, capable of operating at high count rates, has been developed in order to detect recoiling ions. The detector has been used to identify the signal of evaporation residue channels in the presence of strong fission competition. The performance of the detector has been investigated for the reaction of 83 and 95 MeV 18O ions on a 208Pb target.

    This requirement is met, as the detector signal corresponds to the specific energy loss dE/dx rather than to the energy E of the particle. Because very slow heavy nuclei are to be measured with RFD, e.g. Th nuclei at 6 MeV, any gas detector like parallel plate avalanche counters [10] with a thin enough entrance foil would be prohibitively difficult. As already stated, the secondary electron emission from a thin foil induced by recoiling ions [11] has been chosen as the “primary detection mechanism”.
