Lawler, J

Tetramethyl Silane, or TMS, has been proposed as a detector working fluid for the forward calorimeters of possible detectors at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). It has the empirical formula C{sub 4}H{sub 12}Si. There is a considerable body of information and misinformation available about this compound. This report is intended to gather the safety-related information into one place and to point out and eliminate misconceptions encountered. 2 refs.
