Signal damping of strongly ionizing particles in liquid ionization chambers
Abstract
The saturation of signals for strongly ionizing particles in liquid ionization chambers was measured for the liquid TMS. Tritons of 96 MeV were used which have a mean stopping power of about 21 MeV/gcm 2 in the liquid. A deviation from the one parameter ansatz of Birks' law for the stopping power is found. Also a strong dependence on the angle of the particle track with respect to the electric field and slight dependence on the strength of the electric field is reported.
