Description

Study of high energy muon tracking and measurements of punchthrough probability for showers of charged hadrons with momenta 40, 70, 80 and 150 GeV/c have been performed at the CERN SPS test beams using resistive electrode plate chambers. The results are compared with Monte Carlo predictions and with measurements from other experiments. (orig.)
