Abstract
A specially developed setup for measuring cumulative-hadron yield at angles of about 180 degrees is described. The methods for filtering the nonintera cted beam particles, suppressing the background triggerings caused by inter action of the beam halo with the edges of the trigger counters, and reconst ructing secondary tracks in the vicinity of the beam track, which were used under conditions of limited tracking information and a high beam backgroun d, are discussed in detail.
