A telescope of scintillation counters is described by means of which it is possible to register rare processes of particle emission with high ionization and small range against a background of outside radiation with smaller ionization. Both normal plastic scintillators 6 mm thick and filmlike scintillators 0.5 mm thick on a polistirole base with the addition of 1% of tetraphenylbutadien were used in the counters. The counting responses of the telescope are given for the separation of deuterons from Protons with the impulse p = 900 Mev/c, He/sup 3/ from deuterons with the impulse p = 730 Mev/c, and also for alpha -particles with the energy 800 Mev. The apparatus described has been used in experiments, investigating the processes: p + d yields pi /sup +/ + H/sup 3/, d + d yields He/sup 3/ + n, d + d yields - pi /sup o/ + He/sup 4/. (auth)
