Performance characteristics of large aperture, ten-cell, atmospheric pressure isobutane Cherenkov counters
Two large aperture, 10 cell atmospheric-pressure isobutane Cherenkov counters were designed and constructed for a SLAC streamer chamber experiment. The rejection efficiencies for a 9 GeV/c ..pi../sup -/ were measured to be 99.838 +- .006% and 99.717 +- 008% for the two counters. The design details and performance characteristics are discussed.
