Abstract
Two identical large lead glass shower detectors, or Cerenkov counters, have been built to detect and measure the energies of decay photons from neutral pions. This method of detecting high energy gamma rays has the advantage of 100 percent efficiency, good energy resolution, linearity of response, insensitivity to heavy charged particles, and short time resolution. In addition, the physical size of the detector need only increase logarithmically with the energy of the incident particle to preserve linearity and resolution.

The Cerenkov counter cell sand their supporting stands we re designed by Bruce H. Rule and Dan Sell. B.T. Ulrich, D. Carmichael, and G. Green-stein were helpful in testing phototubes and building some of the electronics. The recent modifications were made by Richard M. Talman. | ||||
