Abstract
High resolution telescope counters which employ thick germanium and silicon
surface barrier detectors have been constructed and used for experiments with
brernsstrahlung beams at high energies. The system has been tested with ≤ 160 MeV
beams and various targets. All charged particles up to E = 100 MeV are clearly
separated and there is little background in the measured spectra except at very low energies. Data have been acquired for the ²H(γ,p)n, ⁶Li(γ,³He)t and ⁶Li(γ, t)³ He reactions at 90° and for the ⁴He(γ, ³He)n and ⁴He(γ,t)p reaction angular distributions. All
cross-sections derived from the data are in good agreement with other experimental
results and the deuterium cross-section is in good agreement with established
theory.
