Abstract
A large solid-angle array of low pressure multiwire proportional count ers has been constructed as part of the Atlas Positron EXperiment (APE X). Eight three-element trapezoidal counters provide 360-degrees cover age in phi and 20-degrees-68-degrees coverage in theta. Angle sensitiv ity in theta is provided by a transmission-line delay cathode, while t he segmentation provides angle sensitivity in phi. Sample data are pre sented from the 1450 MeV U-238 + Ta-181 reaction.
