title = "A large solid angle detector for medium energy charged particles",
abstract = "A charged particle detector with 0.7 sr solid angular acceptance has been built, principally to detect protons in the energy range 25-150 MeV in experiments with tagged photon beams. The detector consists of a three element ΔE1-ΔE2-E plastic scintillator telescope. Position information is obtained from the time difference between signals from the two ends of each scintillator. The design of the detector and tests of its performance are described. An energy resolution of 2.8 MeV fwhm at 60 MeV proton energy, and a two-dimensional position resolution of 24 mm × 41 mm fwhm has been obtained. Successful operation in the tagged photon environment is demonstrated.",

note = "Funding Information: The authors are indebted to J. Asher and D. Parker of the UKAEA Harwell Laboratory for help and assistance with initial tests of a prototype scintillator element, to our colleagues at the University of Mainz who collaborated on the experiments during which these counter tests were carried out, and to the staff of the technical workshops of the Kelvin Laboratory, The University of Glasgow and of the Department of Physics, Edinburgh University for their work in manufacturing the detector array. Four of us wish to thank the SERC for financial support during the period of this work, in the form of a research fellowship (M.R.S.) and research studentships (S.N.D., P.A.W. and S.V.S.).",
