The first use of microstrip gas chambers in a high-energy physics experiment is described. The forward magnetic spectrometer of NA12 (GAMS) experiment at CERN-SPS has been equipped with 8 planes of microstrip gas chambers for a total of 1100 low-noise analog channels. The detectors have been exposed for 100 days to a high flux proton beam. A 0.2% momentum resolution at 450 GeV/c, a rate capability higher than 5 x 10(5)/s-1 mm-2 and a 9 ns time resolution have been measured.

Abstract

The detectors have been exposed for 100 days to a high flux proton beam. A 0.2% momentum resolution at 450 GeV/c, a rate capability higher than 5 x 10(5)/s-1 mm-2 and a 9 ns time resolution have been measured.File in questo prodotto:
