Abstract
Operating characteristics of the Indiana Silicon Sphere 4 pi detector array are outlined. The detector geometry is spherical, with 90 telesc opes in the forward hemisphere and 72 at backward angles, covering a t otal solid angle of 74% of 4 pi. Each telescope consists of a simple g as-ion chamber, operated with C3F8 gas, followed by a 0.5 mm thick ion -implanted silicon detector and a 28 mm CsI(TI) crystal, readout by a photodiode. Custom-built bias supplies and NIM preamp/shaper modules w ere used in conjunction with commercial CFD, TDC and ADC CAMAC units.
