Abstract
A project of a hadron identifier for secondary beams of E-h greater th an or equal to 0.25 Tev is proposed. The XTR quanta detection is carri ed out due to their Compton scattering in the radiator made of a light substance. So the charged particles do not pass through the quantum d etector and do not produce a background due to ionization losses. The lateral XTR quanta are registered by gaseous-xenon detector made in th e form of a cylinder with almost 4 pi geometry. The Monte-Carlo calcul ation of the beam identifier has been carried out for a LiH radiator w ith the number of 0.05 mm-thick layers of 3360 at b = 1 mm air gaps.
