Abstract
A detector telescope consisting of eight 1 cm thick intrinsic Ge diodes is described. The diodes have thin dead layer Li junctions (∼15 ωm) and are mounted in interchangeable holders. Designs of the holders and the mounting assembly are presented. The major problem in using stopping detectors at medium energies is the tail of low pulse height events produced by nuclear reactions and scattering out. A technique for rejecting these events is described and the results obtained with deuterons from p-d elastic scattering of 800 MeV protons are presented. Analysis of the nuclear reaction tail for 120, 220, and 250 MeV deutrons yields an average total reaction cross section for deuterons on Ge of σ R = (1490±130) mb.
