A high energy proton detectcr is described, which utilizes multiple internai reflections of Cerenkov radiation to achieve a sharp energy threshold. The detector is capable of accepting a charged particle beam of cross section comparable to that of the radiator. A preliminary version of the counter has been studied experimentally in the 500-900 Mev proton energy range. The performance of the detector agrees with that expected, when allowance is made for various factors which limit the resolution. (auth)
