Description

As an exercise in determining what type of detector might occupy the central region of either the hadron facility (WASP and FATS) or the high p/sub t/ double-arm spectrometer in the wide-angle hall (WAS), a suitable detector which has the following capabilities and/or components (from the intersection point out) is considered: (1) Magnetic analysis and tracking in a 1.5-m-radius, 4-Tesla solenoid, concentric around the beam, equipped with a high-pressure jet chamber system having excellent momentum resolution and potential for dE/dx particle identification. Whether this works will be known as soon as the JADE detector starts taking data at PETRA. (2) An electromagnetic shower calorimeter (Fe/acrylic scintillator), 12 radiation lengths outside the coil cryostat, with a twofold purpose: to allow measurement of neutral pions, and to improve the resolution of the hadron calorimeter by separating the em and hadronic components. (3) A hadron calorimeter (Fe/acrylic scintillator) of 5 absorption lengths. (4) Probably an outer ''skin'' of muon detectors, e.g., the extruded aluminum drift-chamber type proposed for the CERN anti pp detector UA1
