Giant Scintillation Counter Is Good for High Energies
DOI: 10.1063/1.3035578
An overgrown NaI(Tl) crystal makes an excellent detector of all kinds of high‐energy particles (including neutrals), according to Robert Hofstadter of Stanford, who spoke at the New York meeting of the American Physical Society. He, E. Barrie Hughes, William L. Lakin and Ingo Sick tested their total‐absorption detectors in a secondary beam of electrons and pions at SLAC and also at the Stanford 1‐GeV linac.
