Instrumentation for SSC test beams

Effective utilization of the Superconducting Supercollider (SSC) test beams for detector studies and calibration will require sophisticated beamline instrumentation. The tagging elements used in counting, tagging, or otherwise analyzing the beam are discussed. Current plans call for the laboratory to develop an inventory of efficient and reliable intensity monitors, particle tracking systems, and particle identification systems which can cover the full range of particle energies and species expected to be demanded of the facility. The authors present some of those demands and the draft designs of the needed apparatus.<
