The grid-geometry time-of-flight detector used in the NA49 experiment at the CERN-SPS
Abstract
The high time and position resolution grid geometry time-of-flight spectrometer is described. It is used for particle identification as an element of the NA49 hadron detector system at the CERN-SPS. Performance and operational experience in high particle density environment of Pb+Pb collision are discussed.
