NA35

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NA35 was a heavy ion experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN that was carried out from 1983 to 1999. The aim of the experiment was to research the processes involved in the collision of atomic nuclei with high energies ( relativistic ). Another goal was the first experimental generation and detection of the quark-gluon plasma ; however, this was not achieved. The spokesman for the collaboration was Peter Seyboth . The follow-up experiment was the NA49 experiment.

construction

As part of the research program, protons , 16 O and 32 S nuclei were shot at various targets with an impulse of 60 or 200  GeV / c per nucleon . The targets included nuclei of the elements carbon , aluminum , sulfur, copper , silver , gold and lead . After the collision point, various detectors made it possible to record the reactions. The first detector was a spark chamber that cut into a 1.5  teslastrong magnetic field was integrated. This was followed by a trace drift chamber , as well as a ring calorimeter and a veto calorimeter.
