  • Abstract
    An underwater Cerenkov detector has been tested. The results indicate that one phototube can observe about 100 m3 of water target. Use of a light trap increases the effective area of the phototube, thus giving a uniform response within this volume. However, losses in the trap restrict counting to events of higher energy.
