Abstract
Prototypes of a Delta E-E telescope, designed to detect and identify w ith low-energy threshold both light charged particles and heavy fragme nts, are described. They are based on a gas drift chamber which convey s primary ionization electrons on gas microstrip devices where multipl ication occurs and the energy loss signals are generated. Silicon dete ctors or CsI(Tl) crystals operate as residual energy detectors. The pr ototypes were tested both with a source and heavy ion beams. Performan ces, mainly related to energy resolution, charge identification and an gle resolution, are reported.
