Description

An external muon identifier to aid in the identification of muons produced in neutrino interactions in the Fermilab 15 ft bubble chamber has been constructed. Details of design and analysis procedures are discussed. The spatial resolution and efficiency have been calibrated using muons regenerated by neutrino interactions in material upstream of the bubble chamber. A formalism to describe the statistical significance of muon matches in the identifier is developed and tested using tracks from actual neutrino interactions. (Auth.)
