To efficiently detect energetic light charged particles, it is common to use arrays of energy-loss telescopes involving two or more layers of detection media. As the energy of the particles increases, thicker layers are usually needed. However, carrying out measurements with thick-telescopes may require corrections for the losses due to nuclear reactions induced by the incident particles on nuclei within the detector and for the scattering of incident particles out of the detector, without depositing their full energy in the active material. In this paper, we develop a method for measuring such corrections and determine the reaction and out-scattering losses for data measured with the silicon-CsI(Tl) telescopes of the newly developed HiRA10 array. Here, the extracted efficiencies are in good agreement with model predictions using the GEANT4 reaction loss algorithm for Z = 1 and Z = 2 isotopes. After correcting for the HiRA10 geometry, we obtain a general function that describes the loss of efficiency due to reaction losses in CsI(Tl) crystals as a function of range.
