    Test of a small KLOE drift chamber prototype in magnetic field

    No full text
    A small protoype of the KLOE drift chamber has been tested also in presence of a magnetic field. Drift spacetime relations have been studied. The resolution is about 110 mu m in absence of magnetic field and 130 mu m at B=0.6 Tesla. Drift velocity has been measured

    The UA1 uranium-TMP calorimeter: project and results from first full scale prototype

    No full text
    The project of the new UA1 uranium-TMP calorimeter is shortly presented. The construction of calorimeter modules is described. Results from tests of the first full size prototype are reported. Measurements of the response and resolution for electrons and hadrons have been done. The ratio e/h is near to one. © 1990

    Particle identification by plastic flash-chambers

    No full text
    The possibility to utilize plastic flash-chamber systems for particle identification is investigated. It is first pointed out that a many-layer system of thin-wall extruded flash cells is suitable for ionization measurements, and might be applied e.g. to a search for e/3 quarks. The development of the cascade showers in a plasttic flash calorimeter model containing 20 Pb plates 0.5 cm thick and 30 Fe plates 5 cm thick, alternated with flash chambers,is then simulated by Monte Carlo programs, for primary electrons and pions of various energies from 1 to 200 GeV. Analysis of the results of this simulation show that the detector is capable to identify muons, γ's, electrons and charged hadrons with good confidence level. © 1979
