Abstract

A large area hodoscope for the detection of light charged particles has been built by using silicon strip detectors and CsI(Tl) scintillators with photodiode readout. Details of the hodoscope construction, tests and operation are reported. Results obtained in selecting high spin states in the decay of medium-light compound nuclei by multiple alpha detection are shown. The possibilities and limitations of this technique are discussed.
