A computer program has been developed which identifies charged particles from bubble chamber photographs by comparing the pulse height information from an automatic measuring device (The Spiral Reader) to an expected ionization of various mass charged particles. Of all identifiable tracks made by charged particles of momentum below 1500 MeV/c, 70 percent were identified correctly, 28 percent could not be identified and 2 percent were incorrectly identified. Since a kinematical analysis takes precedence over ionization identification, only 16 percent of all events needed to be sent to human operators for identification. The identification programs in misidentification of 2 percent of all identifiable tracks correspond to less than 1 percent of all events being incorrectly identified. (auth)
