Abstract
We shall report results from a calibration of a set of high-resolution ionization
chambers and Cherenkov counters at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
Bevalac, in November 1986. We obtained exposures to beams of 26Fe, 57La, 67Ho,
and 79Au, at several diffyfent energies, ranging from -300 MeV/amu to a maximum
between 1 and 1.6 Ge V lamu. The detectors were basically similar to those used in
the HEA0-3 HNE (Binns et al. 1981) and these exposures were intended to calibrate
the response of the HNE detectors to UH nuclei in the cosmic radiation.
For nuclei of low .atomic number (Z), the response of these detectors scales like
Z2; however, at high Z this scaling is expected to break down (Ahlen 1980,1982;
Derrickson et til. 1981).

not for the limitation of 10 papers per author. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the help of the staff at LBL, especially Hank Crawford, Jack Engelage, Mel Flores and
Fred Lothrop. Arlow Becker constructed and installed the Cherenkov detector.
John Epstein constructed the ion chambers and aligned the instrument. The work
was supported by NASA grants NAG 8-498,. 500~ 502 and NGR 05-002-160, 24-005-050 and 26-008-001. |
