In order to improve the counting rate and position resolution of the Parallel Plate Avalanche Counter (PPAC) within the Compact Spectrometer for Heavy Ion Experiment, a new strip film-structured PPAC has been developed. The developped PPAC detector consists of three layers of film electrodes. The upper and lower layers which serve as the anodes are comprised of self-developed strip film electrodes, oriented perpendicularly to each other. The middle layer utilizes double-sided aluminized Mylar film as the cathode. There is a 3 mm gap between each layer, and the detector has an effective area of 76 mm× 76 mm. Operating in a low-pressure environment with isobutane gas as the working medium, the performance of the PPAC has been measured using a 5.486 MeV α radiation source. The measurement results indicate that the overall position resolution of the PPAC attains approximately 380 μm, and the position resolution improves to 300 μm when using slit width correction. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to simulate the distribution of electrons generated by the detector's ionization under the same conditions on the anode readout strip. The simulation results closely matches the observed multiplicity of hit anode readout strips in measurement.

The Compact Spectrometer for Heavy Ion Experiment (CSHINE) is under construction for the study of isospin chronology via the Hanbury Brown−Twiss (HBT) particle correlation function and the nuclear equation of state of asymmetrical nuclear matter. The CSHINE consists of silicon strip detector (SSD) telescopes and large-area parallel plate avalanche counters, which measure the light charged particles and fission fragments, respectively. In phase I, two SSD telescopes were used to observe 30 MeV/u 40 Ar + 197 Au reactions. The results presented here demonstrate that hydrogen and helium were observed with high isotopic resolution, and the HBT correlation functions of light charged particles could be constructed from the obtained data.
