Development of a large area TEGIC-Detector for Heavy Ions — •Steffen Maurus1, Roman Gernhäuser1, Max Winkel1, Ludwig Maier1, Chiara Nociforo2, and Stephane Pietri21Technische Universität München, E12 — 2GSI Darmstadt

New accelerator facilities like the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at the GSI with higher beam intensities for secondary and primary beam experiments taking established detector system to their limit of operation. In order to separate fragments of interest a new Super FRagment Separator (Super-FRS) is under development. Regarding the identification of the proton number of the fragment beam cocktail produced by fragmentation or fission of heavy beams at the Super-FRS target a new promising concept is the tilted electrode gas ionisation chamber (TEGIC) consisting of a series of plane electrodes tilted with respect to the beam axis. The detector was also equipped with additional position sensitive sections.
A design concept of a TEGIC with a position sensitive extension was developed and realized with the construction of a full scale detector. In addition a test experiment was performed at the fragment separator of GSI with a secondary beam from uranium fragmentation at 700 MeV/u using a fully digital readout system for pile up handling.
We will report on a systematic study of the energy loss measurement and its particle rate dependency for ions in the range of Z ∼ 50.
