Description

A new cosmic-ray magnetic spectrometer was designed and is being constructed. A solid iron magnet is used as a deflection element. Particle tracks are located by eight layers of wide gap spark chambers triggered by four fold coincidence signals of scintillation counters. These scintillation counters are constructed with time-of-flight technique having a time resolution about 10 nsec at a full width at half maximum. The maximum detectable momentum 5 TeV/c and the acceptance 100 cm2 steared are expected. (orig./WL)

Abstract (German)

Ein neues Hoehenstrahl-Magnetspektrometer wurde entworfen und gebaut. Als Ablenkelement wurde ein fester Eisenmagnet benutzt. Teilchenspuren werden durch acht Schichten von wide-gap-Funkenkammern festgelegt, die durch vierfach Koinzidenzsignale von Szintillationszaehlern getriggert werden. Diese sind in der Flugzeittechnik aufgebaut und haben eine Zeitaufloesung von 10 nsec bei der vollen Halbwertsbreite. Der Maximalimpuls betraegt 5 TeV/c und die Akzeptanz 100 cm2 x sterad.
