Design and performance of the CLEO dE/dx system
Description
The dE/dx particle identifier described herein is a pressurized multi-wire proportional chamber system of modular construction. Residing in the outer detector portion of the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), it can separate pions, kaons and protons in the non-relativistic region, identify electrons with high efficiency, and provide several standard deviation separation of kaons/protons from pions in the region of relativistic rise. The most crucial features of its design are reviewed and the methods used to control its electronic and gas-dynamic behavior are discussed. Finally, examples of its actual performance in the CLEO experiment are shown
