The plastic box -- a 4π detector for intermediate energy heavy ion physics (original) (raw)

A 4n array of plastic ~cintillator has been• constructed and used in conjunction with hig~ resolution solid state detectors. The array is employed principally to discriminate"multinucleon transfer reactions from three-body (6r more) final states. It should be useful for a broad class of experiments in which a global charged particle anticoincidence is required.. ~. This report was done with support from the Department of Energy.
