SEVERAL TYPES OF SPARK COUNTERS USING THE SONIC SPARK LOCATION PRINCIPLE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4722731
Experiments were carried out with a number of different types of pulsed chambers to verify the fact that sparks can be located by the sonic method to within a millimeter or less. Examples are given of special counters especially applicable to nuclear structure experiments. They are: an essentially one- dimensional counter, for use, for example at the focal plane of a magnetic spectrometer; a composite counter for fast neutron spectrometry consisting of two scintillation counters and a disc-shaped spark counter; an angular distribution apparatus in which the angular position of a charged particle emerging from a nuclear reaction is determined by use of a curved spark counter; a gamma pair spectrometer of the semicircular focusing type with two one-dimensional spark counters; and an angular correlation apparatus in which at least one charged particle is involved, its angle of emission being determined by sonic spark location.
