Description
GSI [1] is a unique large scale facility for heavy ion research. Ion beams of many elements, including H and U, are produced with energies up to 4.5 GeV/u. For absolute beam intensity measurements a BC-400, organic scintilator, is used. Due to the low radiation hardness of this material, alternative inorganic scintilators like ZnO(Ga) and ZnO(In) [2] were investigated during the 2016 experimental campaign. The response of these ceramic detectors to C, Xe and U ion beams at 300 MeV/u will be reported.
