Magnetic multiparticle spectrometer using digitized cylindrical spark chambers

Journal Article · · Nucl. Instrum. Methods, v. 113, no. 4, pp. 535-540
The construction and performance of the vertex spectrometer in the Multiparticle Argo Spectrometer System (MASS) used at Brooknaven are described. Nine digitized cylindrical wire spark chambers, surrounding a hydrogen target and operating in a 10 kG magnetic field, detected most charged particles with high efficiency up to multiplicities of l2.
