Abstract
Experiment E864 at the Brookhaven AGS accelerator uses a high sensitivity,
large acceptance spectrometer, designed to search for strangelets and other
novel forms of matter produced in high-energy heavy ion collisions. The sp
ectrometer has excellent acceptance and rate capabilities for measuring the
production properties of known particles and nuclei such as (p) over bar,
(d) over bar and He-6. The experiment uses a magnetic spectrometer and empl
oys redundant time of flight and position detectors and a hadronic calorime
ter. In this paper we describe the design and performance of the spectromet
er. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
