Abstract
A fission detector developed for the first energy amplifier test made at CERN-PS during the period September-October 1994 [1,2] will be desc ribed. The device is a small dimension high pressure argon gas ionizat ion chamber with high background rejection and very high efficiency on 2 pi for fission fragments. The number of fissions produced in a fiss ile target allows the neutron flux measurement.
