| Popis: | A transition radiation detector to identify electrons at 90% efficiency with a rejection factor against pions of 103 on an area of 2.85 × 2.85 m2 has been constructed for the NOMAD experiment. Each of its 9 modules includes a 315 plastic foil radiator and a detector plane of 176 vertical straw tubes filled with a xenon-methane gas mixture. Details of the design, construction and operation of the detector are given. |
