A counter telescope has been developed for the study of neutron-induced charged-particle-producing reactions. This spectrometer differs from those conventionally used for such studies in that it has a flight path long enough (2 m) to allow a fairly accurate energy determination. The use of a pulsed beam with such a spectrometer permits the particle energy to be determined in two ways: from the signal produced by the E counter and from the time-of-flight. This redundancy allows a reduction in background relative to the typical telescope if we demand consistency in the two values for a pulse to be accepted. In addition, the velocity determination through time-of-flight makes a better energy resolution possible than would normally be possible for low-energy charged-particles detected in a scintillator.
