Abstract
By means of 20 and 35 Mev proton beams obtained from the University of Minnesota Linac, luminescent effects in Plexiglas Čerenkov detectors have been investigated. It was found that 1% of the protons entering the detector produced light pulses which overlapped the mu‐meson Čerenkov light distribution. These light pulses correspond to energy losses in a sodium iodide crystal of mainly less than 20 kev. Luminescent effects in the glass face of the particular photomultiplier employed were also studied and found to be quite large.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
