Abstract
A set of particle detectors has been exposed to beams of _(79)Au nuclei at ~ 11 Ge V /nucleon from
the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). We report
preliminary results on the responses obtained from silicon solid state detectors and from Cerenkov
counters utilizing total internal reflection with waveshifter bars for readout.
