    TRANSVERSE ENERGY-PRODUCTION IN PB-208+PB COLLISIONS AT 158 GEV PER NUCLEON

    No full text
    Measurements of the forward and the transverse energy in 158 GeV per nucleon Pb-208 + Pb collisions are presented. A total transverse energy of about 1 TeV is created in central collisions. An energy density of about 3 GeV/fm(3) is estimated for near head-on collisions. Only statistical fluctuations are seen in the ratio of electromagnetic to hadronic transverse energy

    The NA49 large acceptance hadron detector

    No full text
    The NA49 detector is a wide acceptance spectrometer for the study of hadron production in p + p, p + A, and A + A collisions at the CERN SPS. The main components are 4 large-volume TPCs for tracking and particle identification via dE/dx. TOF scintillator arrays complement particle identification Calorimeters for transverse energy determination and triggering, a detector for centrality selection in p + A collisions, and beam definition detectors complete the set-up. A description of all detector components is given with emphasis on new technical realizations. Performance and operational experience are discussed in particular with respect to the high track density environment of central Pb + Pb collisions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
