| Description | A balloon experiment which combined a large area plastic detector unit with electronic dE/dx-C data is presented. The correlation of the electronic data with the range data of the plastic detector stack was achieved by rotating plastic detector disks which provided in this way the passive plastic detector with an incorporated time determination. The constant flux of cosmic ray particles with charge Z greater than two was used to gauge the time resolving system. Stopping cosmic ray iron group nuclei in the energy range 400 to 700 MeV/nuc are identified using their electronic scintillator and Cherenkov signals and their etch conelengths and range data. The precise knowledge of the particle's trajectory proposes refined pathlength corrections to the electronic data. |
