The stages of development and the current status of the versatile "Spectrometer with a Vertex Detector" setup designed for physics experiments at the U 70 accelerator of the Institute for High Energy Physics (Protvino) is described. The main detectors of the setup are the vertex detector based on silicon microstrip detectors, the wide aperture magnetic spectrometer based on multiwire proportional chambers, and the lead glass hodoscope γ detector. In the setup, there is a fast two level trigger system for selecting required particle interactions. The key characteristics of the setup systems are presented, and the physical results obtained on it are briefly listed. * To study the dependence of the cross sections on the atomic number of the nucleus, a passive target-a lead foil 220 µm thick-is located at a point with Z coordinate of +8 mm, and the passive target-a carbon plate 500 µm thick-is located at a point with Z coordinate of +16 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
