Description

A magnetic spectrometer intended for a wide range of investigations of rare particle and nuclear processes is described. The spectrometer consists of cylindrical proportional chambers ( similar 15 000 signal wires) with gas supply and gas leakage systems, cylindrical scintillation hodoscopes, a magnet, electronics with power supplies, and a data acquisition system. Basic characteristics of the spectrometer are discussed and results of first physics experiments are presented. ((orig.))
