Abstract

A large area transition radiation detector has been proposed for the European Hybrid Spectrometer at CERN. Its construction is based on experience with a smaller size model detector which has been tested in hadron beams between 40 and 140 GeV/c momentum. The detector allows identification of pions versus kaons and protons at momenta beyond ∼90 GeV/c.

    One or both spectra from the work [61] were also modeled by PAI in works [15,16,18,22,31,38,67] with demonstration of reasonable agreement between the models and the experiment.4 The behavior of the most probable ionization was directly measured in an experiment [69]. The advantage on this experiment, if compared with one from the previous section, is the availability of measurements nearly in the minimum of ionization, while the disadvantage is smaller statistical precision of the measurements.
