Sumario:A particular application of GaSe semiconductor detectors for monitoring a high energy muon beam was investigated during the neutrino experiment at CERN. The performances of GaSe detectors were compared with those of some silicon detectors currently used in this neutrino experiment. Linearity and stability tests indicate that the performances of GaSe detectors are comparable with those of silicon for this particular application. Some other tests on these detectors demonstrate that they are very resistant to radiation damage and aging effects. (5 refs).
