Detector of the BGO-OD experiment

In the framework of an international collaboration the BGO-OD experiment is set up at the accelerator facility ELSA in Bonn. It aims at systematic investigation of nonstrange and strange meson photoproduction, in particular t-channel processes at low momentum transfer. The setup uniquely combines a central almost 4π acceptance BGO crystal calorimeter with a large aperture forward magnetic spectrometer providing good detection of both neutral and charged particles, complementary to other setups like CB, LEPS or CLAS. In the previous year (2015) substantial data sets have been taken. The performance of the various detectors is discussed based on these data.
