Physics with the Axial Field Spectrometer

The Axial Field Spectrometer collaboration at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings is engaged in a programme investigating deep inelastic hadron collisions with a detector system consisting of a cylindrical drift chamber, uranium/scintillator hadron calorimeters, liquid-argon calorimeters, and Cherenkov counters. The latter three devices are used for triggering on high-p/sub T/ hadron jets, direct gamma and pi 0, and identified charged hadrons, respectively. The spectrometer is briefly described.
