Transition Radiation from Electrons at 50-GeV

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods
An investigation to separate electrons from pions at 50 GeV using a transition radiation detector (TRD) consisting of multiwire proportional chambers and stacks of mylar foil radiators is presented. The pulse height distribution from such a detector shows two peaks which correspond to pions and electrons respectively. Ethafoam and styrofoam were also used as radiators. The observed energy spectra and application of the detector are discussed.
