Project 22,1 - Reaction History - L. F. Wouters

CESCRIPTION CF THE EXPERIMENT
The gamma rays produced by the nuclear reactions were detected by flour photocell detectors located in a lead lined detector pit located near the
recording station some 2750 feet from the device.

Collimation was provided

by a 10 foot high by 12 foot wide wall in the cab consisting of 6 inches of
lead and 12 inckes,of peraffin with appropriately stared 1c: ieee

‘

two collimating disks on

short towers between the device and the detector pit, and a 27 foot lead pipe
attacked to the detector pit.

The disks and pipe restricted the view of the

detectors to the wall and the portions of tke device observable trrovugh the
two holes in the wall.

fluors were positioned in tandem along the collimated gamma path and were
observed by a total of three protodiodes and four protomultiplier units.
Appropriate combinations of gamma attenuators between fluors and ortical
attenuators between cifferent detector units on the same fluor rade possible
the complete coverage of a dynamic range of 10°,

The detector outputs were

transmitted by cable to some 35 oscillograrpks located in the recording station
where cameras provided a permanent film record of the signals.
