Abstract
SOUDAN 2 is a 960-ton tracking calorimeter which has been constructed to search for nucleon decay and other phenomena. The full detector con sists of 224 calorimeter modules each weighing 4.3 tons. The design an d construction of the modules are described. The modules consist of fi nely segmented iron instrumented with 1 m long drift tubes of 15 mm in ternal diameter. The tubes enable three spatial coordinates and dE/dx to be recorded for charged particles traversing the tubes.
