Description

The axial field spectrometer is being exploited in a wide-ranging programme to study pp and pp- collisions which are characterized by a large transverse momentum. A specially shaped magnet together with an 'imaging' drift chamber is used for efficient detection and momentum analysis of high multiplicity events at interaction rates of up to 5 x 106s. Particle identification is accomplished over 1 sr; an uranium/scintillator hadron calorimeter will cover more than 8 sr in 1982 to provide an unbiased energy measurement. (orig.)
