NAL 30 m$sup 3$ bubble chamber external muon identifier
From fifth topical conference in partical physics; Honolulu, Hawaii, USA (8 Aug 1973). The Hawaii-LBL collaboration has accepted the responsibility of building an external muon identifier (EMI) behind the 15' bubble chamber at NAL. The basic idea of the EMI is to use a single plane of multiwire propontional chambers (MWPC) to detect the positions of particles emerging from an absorber behind the 15' bubble chamber. The incident direction and momentum are determined by analyzing the bubble chamber film. By extrapolating the trajeotory through the magnetic field, it is possible to predict where each particle should intersect the plane of MWPC's. The development and testing of the EMI are briefly discussed. (WHK)
