Description

A gas threshold Cherenkov 14-channel coUnter filled with freon-12 at 1 atm pressure is described. The counter is used in BIS-2 spectrometer at the Serpukhov accelerator. Radiator length is 15O cm. Optical part contains 14 spherical mirrors of 200 cm curvature radius, light collectors and photomultipliers of XP-2041/Q type shielded from scattered magnetic fields by the magnetic screens. Counter efficiency is greater than 98% for particles with β>=0.995. The counter has been included into BIS-2 identification system for charged hadrons
