Abstract
- The most forward ring (2 ≤ θ ≤ 3°) of the INDRA multidetector has been equipped with 12 plastic phoswich detectors able to withstand the high counting rates encountered at very small angles. Each phoswich detector is composed of a 500 μm thick fast scintillator and a 25 cm thick slow scintillator. Elemental identification is achieved on a fairly large domain, ranging from Z = 1 up to Z = 37. A new method of Z separation, using an identification function technique, is described.
