A Cerenkov-ΔΕ-Cerenkov Detector for High Energy Cosmic Ray Isotopes and an Accelerator Study of ⁴⁰Ar & ⁵⁶Fe Fragmentation
<p>This thesis has two major parts. The first part of the thesis will describe a high energy cosmic ray detector -- the High Energy Isotope Spectrometer Telescope (HEIST). HEIST is a large area (0.25 m<sup>2</sup>sr) balloon-borne isotope spectrometer designed to make high-resoluti...
