Scientific paper
The paper describes a Cerenkov detector system designed to obtain abundances and energy spectra of cosmic ray nuclei above charge 12 and above 350 MeV/nucleon. The detector system consists of three pulse ionization chambers, a Lucite Cerenkov counter and a plastic scintillation-counter hodoscope. The data analysis follows from the standard dE/dx-C technique. It is shown that by using the relativistic ionization rise, the resolution and pulse height corresponding to charged particles of Beta 1 in Cerenkov detectors can be determined. Least-squares-fit procedures are used to obtain area and time variations of detector response from flight data and to extract elemental abundances from data with charge resolution of roughly 0.3 charge units.
