Abstract

The response of an array of plastic phoswich detectors to ions of 1 ≤ Z ≤ 18 has been measured from E/A = 12 to 72 MeV. The detector response has been parameterized by a three parameter fit which includes both quenching and high energy delta-ray effects. The fits have a mean variation of ≤4% with respect to the data.
