Experience with the axial field spectrometer drift chamber at the ISR
- 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva, Switzerland
Description
The Axial Field Spectrometer (AFS) at the CERN ISR was designed to study events characterized by large transverse momenta. It required a low mass vertex detector providing good momentum resolution in a solenoidal magnetic field of 0.5 T, powerful pattern recognition for high event rates and particle densities and particle identification in the non-relativistic region (1). The detector has been operated at typical luminosities up to L = 2 x 1031/cm2 sec over the past 1.5 years and recently, for periods of hours only, up to L = 1032/cm2 sec
