Abstract
In this paper we present a study of the momentum measurement ability of the
magnetized calorimeter proposed for the ICANOE experiment. For the calorim
eter tracker we have designed a system based on aluminum drift tubes 8.5 m
long and with a square inner cross-section of 2.6 x 2.6 cm(2), fed by an Ar
-CO2 gas mixture. Magnetic field measurements performed on reduced scale pr
ototypes show that an average magnetic flux density of similar to1.3 T can
be achieved. From tests with cosmic rays and beam particles, we also show t
hat the drift tubes used for the tracker allow to. obtain spatial resolutio
ns better than 400 mum. The muon momentum resolution achievable with the pr
oposed layout is similar to 30%. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
