Description

The GAMS NA12/2 programme is a fixed CERN target experiment. It looks for new mesons or exotic states which are centrally produced by 450 GeV/c protons. A large time of flight detector has been built by the GAMS NA12/2 experiment at CERN. It surrounds a 60 cm long liquid hydrogen target. With a time resolution better than σ = 350 ps, pion/proton separation is achieved up to a 800 MeV/c momentum. (authors). 5 refs., 16 figs
