摘要
We report on the performance of a 1 m(3) Time Projection Chambers filled with CF4 at 3 bar, immersed in liquid scintillator and viewed by photomultipliers. Particle detection, event identification and localization achieved by measuring both the electric current and the scintillation light are presented. Particular features of alpha particle detection are also discussed. Finally, the Mn-54 photopeak, reconstructed from the Compton scattering and recoil angle is shown (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
