摘要
A new gas filled ionization chamber for high count rate particle identification has been constructed and commissioned at the Holifielcl Radioactive lon Beam Facility (RIME) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). To enhance the response Lime of the ionization chamber, a design utilizing a tilted entrance window and tilted electrodes was adopted, which is modified from art original design by Kimura et al. [1]. A maximum counting rate of 700,000 particles per second has been achieved. The detector has been used for several radioactive beam measurements performed at the HRIBF. (C) 2014 Elsevier BY.
