Abstract: A new type of ionization chamber telescope is introduced which consists of two ionization chambers in series followed by a position sensitive semiconductor Si detector.The trajectory of the incident particles is parallel to the direction of the electric field in the ionization chamber.The advantages of this type of the detector are as follows:(1) its wide dynamical range allows the resolution for light particles as well as the heavy elements;(2) its good position resolution,makes it possible to cover a large solid (subtended about 14°) with a relatively smaller detector size.
