Abstract
The CPLEAR collaboration has constructed a detector at CERN for an ext ensive programme of CP-, T- and CPT-symmetry studies using K-0 and <(K )over bar (0)> produced by the annihilation of <(p)over bar 's> in a h ydrogen gas target. The K-0 and <(K)over bar (0)> are identified by th eir companion products of the annihilation K(+/-)pi(-/+) which are tra cked with multiwire proportional chambers, drift chambers and streamer tubes. Particle identification is carried out with a liquid Cherenkov detector for fast separation of pions and kaons and with scintillator s which allow the measurement of time of flight and energy loss. Photo ns are measured with a lead/gas sampling electromagnetic calorimeter. The required antiproton annihilation modes are selected by fast online processors using the tracking chamber and particle identification inf ormation. All the detectors are mounted in a 0.44 T uniform field of a n axial solenoid of diameter 2 m and length 3.6 m to form a magnetic s pectrometer capable of full on-line reconstruction and selection of ev ents. The design, operating parameters and performance of the subdetec tors are described.
