Trilling, G H

After a brief discussion of the requirements for the detectors to be used at the SSC, the components of a typical detector are discussed individually, and how they may fit into a full detector is indicated. The requirements indicated include the ability to detect and measure the directions and energies of quarks, gluons, leptons and photons; ability to handle appropriately high energies and high luminosities; and affordability, buildability, and operability. The components discussed include tracking detectors (such as drift chambers, calorimeters, lepton identification and energy measurement systems, triggering, and a 4..pi.. detector. (LEW)
