(Proton-nucleus collisions): Foreign trip report, April 11, 1988--June 11, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5851301
The traveler participated in the start-up and operation of the WA80 setup for an experiment using 200-GeV/c proton beams incident on targets of C, Al, Cu, Ag, and Au. The traveler attended a WA80 collaboration meeting in which recent results and future plans were discussed. The traveler also presented a talk on WA80 calorimeter results at the Workshop on Relativistic Heavy-Ion Physics in Erice, Italy. The traveler attended several meetings at CERN in which several possible configurations suitable for experiments with lead beams at CERN were discussed. After the proton run period, the traveler completed studies of a new approach to handle the problem of photon combinatorials. This problem must be dealt with in analyzing the results from the SAPHIR detector of WA80 or from a similar but larger detector for an upgraded WA80 experiment. Finally, the traveler attended the Third International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions in Saint-Malo, France.
