Abstract :
The use of secondary electron emission to detect high energy particles is investigated. Low density KCl layers have been tested to detect MeV electrons, 400-750 MeV protons and high energy deuterons. The efficiency and the secondary electron spectrum are presented. The results justify the use of low-density KCl layer to detect minimum ionizing particles.
