Title: EFFECT OF CHERENKOV LIGHT POLARIZATION ON TOTAL REFLECTION COUNTER

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instr. Methods

A rugged total internal reflection counter with a 3- to 5cm thick compact radiator was used at the CERN proton synchrotron for beam analysis. The threshold behavior of this counter was compared when filled with glycerol and with turpentine. Turpentine is optically active and rotates the plane of polarization about 7 un. Concent 85% /cm. Figures illustrate the effect of this polarization rotation. (A.G.W.)
