Objective
Research has been conducted towards the development of orrays of detectors for the observation of high energy gamma-rays produced in tagged photon induced nuclear reactions.
Initial work was directed towards investigating possible materials for use in detecting high energy gamma-rays. However, it was latter decided to develop a combined pion proton detector (PIP). The detector comprises a Delta E layer and 4 E layers. The Delta E layer is made up of 4 1 mm sheets of plastic scintillator mounted vertically and viewed by fantail light guides at each end. Vertical position measurements of entrant particles are made by recording time differences from the signals observed at each end. The 4 E layers are made of 19 substantial blocks with thicknesses up to 17.5 cm each. A total thickness of 68 cm is achieved which is capable of stopping 180 MeV plons and 400 MeV protons. Horizontal position measurements are again achieved using time difference signals from each end of the blocks.
The detector has been tested using a large neutron time of flight array and signals are compared to simulated data. Results are encouraging and it can be concluded that PIP is virtually complete and works well.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
