Instrumentation for Use with BEV Accelerators

The object of the instrumentation is to observe the interaction of high energy protons with various nuclei and to study the characteristics of the short-lived particles which are produced. The tracks of charged particles can be directly observed in photographic film, in cloud and bubble chambers and in spark chambers. Alternatively, a number of radiation detectors may be arranged to give a signal orly when a selected type of event takes place.
