Multiwire and drift proportional chambers

Georges Charpak
OpenURL
Show Topic
These detectors, able to determine trajectory positions to better than 50 microns, now equip nearly every high‐energy physics experiment in which charged particles have to be localized.

The large spectrometers

William J. Willis
OpenURL
Show Topic
Mammoth detector systems—tens of thousands of detector wires, thousands of tons of iron—with large solid angles of acceptance are becoming the workhorses of high‐energy physics labs worldwide.

The High‐Resolution Streamer Chamber

Jack Sandweiss
OpenURL
Show Topic
This relatively new development offers high multitrack efficiency, nearly isotropic response, short memory time and electronic “triggerability.”

The Time Projection Chamber

Jay N. Marx and David R. Nygren
OpenURL
Show Topic
By combining the particle‐identification function in the same detector volume as the tracking and momentum‐measurement functions, this device achieves substantial reduction in overall size.
