Abstract
A detector has been developed that has an efficiency greater than 95% for a variety of ions that strike it with energies of more than a few keV, The efficiency is constant over the large entrance aperture (2.5 cm diameter) and for particle fluxes up to 4*104 s-1. An important feature is the ability to identify correlated pairs of particles that arrive as little as 30 ns apart, even in the presence of large, uncorrelated backgrounds.Keywords
