The identification of secondary particles by ionisation sampling (ISIS)

A large volume multi-wire proportional chamber employing drift paths of up to 2m in an unconventional geometry is described. This device will distinguish between kaons, pions and protons for all secondaries from 5 GeV/c to over 100 GeV/c and obtain over 300 transverse position measurements on each t...

description A large volume multi-wire proportional chamber employing drift paths of up to 2m in an unconventional geometry is described. This device will distinguish between kaons, pions and protons for all secondaries from 5 GeV/c to over 100 GeV/c and obtain over 300 transverse position measurements on each track to an accuracy of approximately 2mm. Results from experiments on a prototype in a test beam are given and a possible design for use with a rapid cycling bubble chamber at the CERN-SPS or NAL accelerators is discussed. (13 refs).
