A NEW METHOD FOR TRACK ANGLE MEASUREMENT IN A GRIDDED IONIZATION CHAMBER

Journal Article · · Nuclear Inst. & Methods
A simple method of handling the information at the collector of a conventional gridded ionization chamber is described. This method, based on the evaluation of the maximum of the current at the collector, allows one to obtain a direct information on the angle formed by the tracks of the particles with the electric field. This maximum value is independent from the position of the track within the sensitive volume and from the energy of particles of identical mass. The method allows one to obtain the collimation of the particles, the rangeenergy study, and possibly, the development of neutron spectrometers based on the energy of gas recoil, and the (n,p) and (n, alpha ) studles in which the angular distribution of the emitted particles is involved.
