Beam Test
Goal of the experiment: detector performance in high counting rate environment
Experimental Setup:
- 2 Scintillators (ToF, trigger);
- 2 Si - Strip Detectors (position information);
- 2 MWPC - GSI (10 x 10 cm2 )
- 1 MWPC - Bucharest (24 x 24 cm2 )
-1 MWPC - Dubna (10 x 10 cm2 )
- 1 GEM - Dubna
- Pb - glass calorimeter (last run)
- FADC readout ; DAQ (MBS)

Conclusions
•Diagnostic system
not specific for hcr
environment
limited performance
The results of the first in-beam tests of such a geometry seem to
recommend it as a solution for a major percentage of the CBM
TRD subdetector.
Participants: Bucharest, Dubna, GSI, Heidelberg and Münster
•Modest statistics
limiting factor for
detailed analysis in terms
of:
- Beam profile
- Spill profile
•Much to low
systematics for
negatives (e/)
Although
