Scientific paper
A common problem in detectors for cosmic-ray nuclei is the generation of energetic knock-on electrons by an incident nucleus. These electrons may produce additional signals which can obscure the true nature of the signal from the nucleus itself. In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations of these effects are discussed in the University of Chicago CRNE instrument for Spacelab-2, and show that they do not impair the performance of the transition radiation detector as designed. Some qualitative properties of delta-ray effects are identified, which are of use to other experimenters in this field.
