Description

Elastic pp (or panti p) scattering at microradian angles provides a measurement of the total pp (or panti p) cross section, the slope of the elastic scattering cross section with t (the square of the momentum transfer) and the ratio of real to imaginary scattering amplitudes, as well as an absolute luminosity calibration. A detector is proposed which can measure elastic scattering and small angle processes which are usually missed by a typical 4π detector. The detector consists of a bundle of scintillating fibers. Images from these fibers are transported via glass fiber optics and intensified with two proximity focused image intensifiers. Images are then reduced via an image taper and read out with a charge coupled device (CCD). (orig.)
