Description

The carbon ions +6C with energy 24.8 GeV/u were extracted from the U-70 ring by a bent Si crystal. The deflection angle of a beam by a crystal was 85 mrad. The measured beam intensity in beam line 4a was about 1E05 particles at 1E09 circulated ions in the ring. The scintillation counters were installed in beam center while the semiconductor detector was installed in 43 mm away from the beam axis. In the experiment, spectra of ionization losses of particles passed through the Si detector of thickness 300 um have been measured. Preliminary results of measurements are presented. The spectrum contains Landau spectral peaks with energies, corresponding to particle charges from 1 to 6. The number of counts in the spectral peaks corresponds to the number of particles in the beam.
