Abstract
A 38 cm position sensitive gas counter has been developed for use with an Enge split-pole spectrograph. The detector is basically a combination of a drift chamber and a proportional counter with a cylindrical delay line located parallel to the anode were providing the position information. The proportional counter provides also information on the energy deposited in the drift space by the passing particle. An intrinsic position resolution of ∼ 0.3 mm is deduced from tests with alpha-particles from a 241Am source normally incident upon the detector. Spectrograph results for a solid angle of 2.68 msr and for ≥ 2 particles incident at 45° show total resolutions of ∼ 0.75 mm. Particle identification and background suppression with the † E signal are analyzed.
