Abstract
A Recoil Filter Detector I RFO) which was del'eloped in the Hahn-:\Ieilner-Institut
(H:\II), Berlin has been im'estigated to determine the detector efficiencI', This detector
uses the forward emitted electrons from a thin mylar foil and it has been found
to hal-e lo\\'er efficiency than expected from theoretical considerations, For the test
measurements a ,.olCf source was used, The fission products from the 2.o2Cf were
detected in coincidence ,,-ith the prompt -forays and then the spectra \I'ere analyzed,
In I he first part of this paper the reason for the 101\' efficienc\' of tllf' detector and
the solution for an impron,ment is presented, In the second part. as an alternative,
a Hew ,\esigll of a det.ector is proposed. It- llses the back\rard ~mittr'd electrons and
may he preferred, in some aspects, to the RFD
