Abstract

Cylindrical MWPCs have been constructed with anode diameters of 240–430 mm and a length of 750 mm. Cathode strips run helically with 38°–61° to the anode wires, and the induced charges were read out by ADC. Both the anode and the cathode efficiency were well above 99%. The resolution (σ) for the longitudinal position of the avalanche was 0.6 mm by the centre of gravity method, if the cathode was read out per 12 mm width by summing two adjacent cathode strips.

DAPHNE: a large-acceptance tracking detector for the study of photoreactions at intermediate energies
1991, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A large-acceptance (94% of 4π sr) hadron detector capable of handling multiparticle final states is described. The track reconstruction capability, energy resolution, particle identification capability and neutral-particle detection efficiency of the detector are discussed and the results of tests shown. Tests have been performed both with cosmic rays and in a realistic experimental situation using a 500 MeV photon beam impinging on hydrogen and deuterium targets.
A large silicon detector to measure the antiproton range in a liquid hydrogen target
1989, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A large solid state detector Si(Li) has been developed for a low energy antiproton beam monitor. The size of the detector developed is 3 mm in thickness and 98 mm in diameter. The energy resolution is 50 keV (FWHM) for 976 keV electrons from a ²⁰⁷Bi source. The stopping position of the incident antiproton in a liquid hydrogen target is determined for every event with an accuracy of 1.35 cm (σ) from the dE/dx information of the detector. Details of the characteristics of the solid detector are also described.
Search for narrow states by detection of monochromatic gamma rays in p̄p annihilation at rest
1986, Physics Letters B
An inclusive γ ray spectrum in p̄p annihilation at rest has been measured with modularized NaI(Tℓ) detectors with statistics several times higher than before. The aim of the experiment was to search for baryonium B in p̄p → γB by detection of narrow lines in the γ ray spectrum. We have not observed any narrow state B with yield greater than 1.5 × 10⁻³ per annihilation and with statistical significance higher than 2σ.
