The Grid-Geometry Time-of-Flight Detector Used in the NA49 Experiment at the CERN-SPS

The high time and position resolution grid geometry time-of-flight spectrometer is described. It is used for particle identification as an element of the NA49 hadron detector system at the CERN-SPS. Performance and operational experience in high particle density environment of Pb+Pb collision are di...

Sumario:The high time and position resolution grid geometry time-of-flight spectrometer is described. It is used for particle identification as an element of the NA49 hadron detector system at the CERN-SPS. Performance and operational experience in high particle density environment of Pb+Pb collision are discussed. (3 refs).
