Abstract

The design, construction, and performance of a segmented-target, cathode-strip, tracking-detector is discussed. The chamber was made of low- Z materials in order to allow photons to leave the target region. It was used to determine the reaction vertex of stopping kaons, and was successfully operated in a high-intensity kaon beamline at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The vertical and horizontal resolutions of the stopping kaon reaction positions were σ X ∼0.454 mm and σ Y ∼1.180 mm , respectively. The uncertainty in the longitudinal ( Z ) direction is given by one-half the thickness of a target segment.

Abstract

A time-of-flight detector array has been developed for an experiment searching for the strangeness −2 H-particle. The array consists of 40 logs of plastic scintillator with dimensions 2.00 × 0.085 × 0.050 m3. The photomultiplier tubes are coupled to the scintillators without the use of light guides, and the mounting of the bars is designed for easy adjustment and servicing. The average intrinsic time resolution was found to be 110 ps σ.
