Abstract

We are considering the use of Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) Detectors to measure the energy spectrum of high-energy primary cosmic rays (about and above 1000 TeV) in outer space. A very preliminary prototype of such ``calorimeter’ ’ was tested at the CERN-SPS H2 test beam-line using electrons of energies between 7 to 150 GeV. We measured light output using stacks of aluminum foils with different surface quality and distance separations. 1 Work supported by NASA-FAR grant # NAG5-8653
