Abstract

The European Hybrid Spectrometer is described in its preliminary version for the NA16 charm experiment. The performance of the small hydrogen bubble chamber LEBC and the detectors of the spectrometer is discussed. In particular the combination of the bubble chamber information with the spectrometer data is described in detail. The track reconstruction efficiency is 90%. The precision with which vertices seen in the bubble chamber are reconstructed is around 10 μm and the two track resolution is 40 μm. Therefore very complex event configurations, in particular charm particle decays, can be reconstructed correctly.
