Abstract
A compact channel plate detector used as a start detector in heavy ion reaction studies is described. In order to avoid spurious structures in the energy spectra of the detected ions the usual electron accelerating grid is replaced by five electrodes which provide a uniform electric field. The start detector has an intrinsic resolution of 85 ps and efficiency of 90% for medium mass nuclei. The overall time resolution with a solid state detector as stop is 105 ps.
