Drift chamber tests for the B1-spektrometer at ELSA

  • 1. Physikalisches Institut, Bonn (Germany)

Description

At the Bonn electron accelerator ELSA photoproduction of mesons is studied at energies up to Eγ=3.5 GeV. Presently, a new experimental setup is being installed. To detect mixed charged final states, the BGO-Ball of the former GRAAL-Experiment is combined with an open magnetic spectrometer in forward direction. The spectrometer utilizes scintillating fibers for tracking in front of the magnet and large drift chambers behind the magnet. A prototype drift chamber has been tested for efficiency and position resolution. Testing of the full size chambers has started.
