Abstract

A new type of detector (TANC counter) of high energy particles is proposed which operates on the principle of total absorption of all nuclear cascade products of the impinging particle. This detector will be sensitive to neutral particles (including gamma rays) as well as charged particles and will have 100% efficiency for detection. The counter can have high speed, good energy resolution, discrimination properties, large dynamic range and virtually no limit to the highest energy detectable. Some preliminary experimental results are shown which indicate that the counter will operate as expected.
