Va. Baranov et al., ARES - A SPECTROMETER FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF RARE PARTICLE DECAYS AND RARE NUCLEAR PROCESSES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 346(3), 1994, pp. 496-505
A magnetic spectrometer intended for a wide range of investigations of
rare particle and nuclear processes is described. The spectrometer co
nsists of cylindirical proportional chambers (approximately 15 000 sig
nal wires) with gas supply and gas leakage systems, cylindrical scinti
llation hodoscopes, a magnet, electronics with power supplies, and a d
ata acquisition system. Basic characteristics of the spectrometer are
discussed and results of first physics experiments are presented.
