Abstract

The response of an array of plastic phoswich detectors to ions of $1\le Z\le 18$ has been measured from $E/A$ =12 to 72 MeV. The detector response has been parameterized by a three parameter fit which includes both quenching and high energy delta-ray effects. The fits have a mean variation of $\le 4\%$ with respect to the data.
