· Nuovo Cimento (Italy) Divided into Nuovo Cimento A and Nuovo Cimento B
The design and the porformance of a large area, comparatively thin toluene Cherenkov counter are described. The velocity resolution of nonfocusing Cherenkov counters and its basic limitation, due to the Landau fluctuations in the emission of fast knock-pn electrons, are discussed and compared with those of scintillation counters. The absolute yield of the Cherenkov light is evaluated from the measurements and found to be in good agreement with the theoretical yield. (auth)
