The question whether neutrino flavours mix at some level and the related question whether neutrinos have non-zero mass is one of the remaining great challenges of experimental high energy physics.
The aim of the experiment is to search for neutrino oscillations in the v^ — vr sector by detecting the occurrence of the reaction vTN —» r~X in a background of v^ induced charged and neutral events. The r~ is identified by its charge and the characteristic decay topology in its muonic and hadronic decay modes accompanied with transverse momentum imbalance. A sensitivity of sin.2 19 < 2 • 10~4 at the 90% confidence level can be achieved with an 4-year exposure in
36 CHORUS WA95 the wide band neutrino beam of the SPS. For this exposure the prompt vT induced background and other background events occur at such a level to produce less than one event. The experimental setup consists of a target region, an air-core magnet, a high precision calorime- ter and a muon spectrometer. Nuclear emulsion stacks form the 800 kg mass of the fiducial target volume; decays of short lived particles such as the r are visualised with high efficiency in these stacks. Tracks are located into the emulsion with high precision scintillating fibre trackers read out with opto-electronic image intensifiers coupled to CCD cameras.
The hexagonal air-core magnet is pulsed to permit the use of thin aluminium windings. It provides the measurement of the charge-sign of low energy hadrons and muons. The high pre- cision calorimeter tags the r~ decay by its transverse momentum imbalance. The spectrometer identifies muons and measures their momentum and charge.
The experiment took data from May 1994 until November 1997. After two years the emulsion target had been replaced. A total of 800,000 v^ charged current events have been recorded in the emulsion target and the electronic part of the detector. The measurement of the emulsion is being performed and will still take a few years.
Results from the first 2-year exposure have been presented and new results will emerge corre- sponding to the emulsion measurement progress.

The experiment searches for the oscillation v^ -» vT in the CERN wide-band neutrino beam. It aims at detecting uT charged current interactions by observing the production of the r lepton through its various decay modes by means of kinematical criteria. The detector reconstructs the events kinematics and identifies electrons, muons and photons. It uses the UA1 magnet. The target consists of 44 drift chambers, (132 sensitive planes) each 2.2 % X" thick, with a total mass of 2.9 tons over a fiducial volume of 2.6 x 2.6 x 4 m3. It is followed by transition radiation detectors and an electromagnetic calorimeter which includes a preshower detector. The muons are identified after the return-yoke of the magnet.

Hyperons are expected to be a useful probe for the dynamics of hadronic matter under extreme conditions. In particular the onset of a Quark-Gluon Plasma phase in a heavy ion collision is expected to enhance the hyperon yield with respect to normal hadronic interactions. WA97 aims to measure the spectra of strange particles and in particular of hyperons and anti- hyperons produced in ultrarelativistic lead-lead interactions and to compare them with those from proton initiated reactions. The experiment covers central rapidity down to transverse momenta of a few hundred MeV/c. The experimental setup consists of: an array of multi- plicity counters, a silicon based decay detector made of pixels, located in the CERN-OMEGA Spectrometer, an array of pad cathode MWPCs used as lever arm detectors and a zero degree hadron calorimeter.

The aim of the experiment is the high statistics study of photons and neutral hadrons, as well as of charged particles, and their correlations in Pb - Pb collisions. The photons are measured by:
- a 10 000 module LEADGLASS SPECTROMETER yielding high precision data on ir° and 77 at midrapidity (with transverse momenta 0.3 GeV/c > pr > 4.5 GeV/cfor TT° and 1.5 GeV/c > pr > 4.0 GeV/c for rj covering the "thermal" as well as the "hard scattering" regime beyond 3 GeV/c) and determination of the thermal and direct photon to ir° ratio.
- a pad preshower PHOTON MULTIPLICITY DETECTOR which, by comparing with the charged particle multiplicity measurement allows to determine the photon enrichment in an event or event class. 48 WA98
The charged particle setup contains:
- a 4000 element SILICON PAD DETECTOR and a 4-inch SILICON DRIFT DETECTOR to measure the charged particle multiplicity. - a MULTISTEP AVALANCHE TRACKING SYSTEM with optical readout for momentum measurement of negative tracks. - a MULTISTEP AVALANCHE TRACKING SYSTEM with pad readout for momentum mea- surement of positive tracks. - a TIME-OF-FLIGHT SYSTEM for each tracking system for particle identification.
This allows to correlate electromagnetic and charged hadronic data within event classes and to yield high statistics transverse momentum spectra of identified hadrons as well as Bose-Einstein correlation data.

It is anticipated that heavy-ion colliders (RHIC and LHC) will be operationally limited by beam depleting charge- and mass-changing collisional processes. The strongest loss processes will arise from electromagnetic (EM) interactions occurring in peripheral collisions between the colliding ions. Electron capture from electron-positron pair production (vacuum capture) is expected to be a limiting process, along with a single-neutron and -proton stripping through EM dissociation. Studies of interactions of 160 GeV A Pb ions in thin solid targets were initiated in November 1994 and completed in Novemberl996. Measurements were made using the magnetic components of West Hall beam line H3 and detector signals from the WA98 collaboration experiment, together as as high-resolution magnetic spectrometer. Total energy losses for Pb ions in various thin target materials were obtained at high precision (0.1%) from shifts in peak positions for the transmitted ions. These energy loss data give stopping powers reduced from standard theory by as much as 15%, and in substantial agreement with effects ascribed to finite nuclear size. In the fall of 1996, 160 GeV A Pb ion vacuum capture measurements were made, incorporating improvements, especially in beam normalization and reduction of backgrounds, which substantially improved experimental uncertainty. By tuning the beam line for incident and transmitted one-electron lead ions, precise direct measurements of ionization were also performed. Results support ground-state vacuum capture cross sections very close to

However, measured ionization cross sections for hydrogen-like Pb(ls) ions fall ~ 30% below theoretical calculations. Experiments were also performed in 1996 to determine cross sections for EM single-proton and single-, double-, and triple-neutron stripping of Pb ions in various light and heavy targets. These data are currently being analyzed. We note that our previous measurements of total Pb beam depletion through nuclear dissociation give cross sections approximately 20% in excess of results from well established theory.

Solid state nuclear track detectors which formed part of the Dublin-ESTEC ultra heavy cos- mic ray experiment aboard LDEF (Long Duration Exposure Facility) and which was deployed in Earth orbit for sixty-nine months, will be exposed to relativistic Pb ions. The experiment was the largest of its kind ever undertaken in space and has successfully accumulated more than fifteen times the world sample of cosmic ray nuclei in the region above Z = 70. The data include the first significant sample of cosmic ray actinide elements and is of major astrophysical importance. The total number of ultra heavy nuclei (Z > 70) in the Dublin-ESTEC sample is ~ 2800. The exposure will be very simple. A stack of detectors (20.5 cm x 26 cm x 3 cm in size) will be irradiated with a low density beam of Pb ions (a few hundred per cm2 would be ideal, but a wide range of densities and areas could be tolerated). The response of the detectors to these ions of known charge and velocity will be measured and the data obtained will be used to determine the charge spectrum of ultra heavy cosmic ray nuclei with high resolution.

Ten modules of BP-1 glass detectors interleaved with various targets ranging from C to Pb were exposed to the 160 A GeV Pb beam in the November-December run of 1994 at CERN SPS. The experiment was carried out at normal incidence at a beam density of ~ 600 cm"2. The dimension of each plate of BP-1 glass was 50 mm x 50 mm x 1 mm. We etched the glass in 70% CH3SO3H at 50 °C or in 48% HF at room temperature. The charge threshold is found to be Zth ~ 68 and 70 respectively. Using the automated scanning and measurement system developed at Berkeley, we have demonstrated that the charge resolution for Pb ions is We use this detector system to measure cross-sections for various processes in heavy ion colli- sions of 160 A GeV Pb with different targets. The following topics are currently under study:
1. Atomic Collisions of Heavy Ions: We measure cross-sections for electron capture and strip- ping of fully stripped Pb ions in our detectors and in various materials. These measurements permit a unique test of atomic collision theories in the ultrarelativistic regime. They are also of practical interest to RHIC and LHC as their beam lifetimes would be intrinsically limited by the electron capture from pair production. 2. Charge-Changing Fragmentation: A substantial fraction of ultrarelativistic heavy ion col- lisions result in charge-changing spallation of projectile nuclei in collisions involving both nuclear and electromagnetic interactions. We measure total cross-sections for the fragmen- tation of Pb in various targets. We also measure partial cross-sections for fragmentations into limited channels of charge losses from AZ = 1 to 14. 3. Charge-Pickup Interaction: We have identified tens of events in which the projectile nucleus increases its charge by one unit when it interacts with a target nucleus. The cross-sections for 160 A GeV Pb are found to be large in comparison with those measured at lower energies or for lighter projectiles. We also study the target dependence of the charge-pickup cross- section. References SPSLC/93-21/P277 57 Forward p region

During the last decade evidence for non-qq mesons has grown due to experiments having high statistics in various decay modes. However there are still many channels which have promising signals but any definite conclusion is limited by the available statistics. In order to make a significant contribution to this field we propose to perform two 100 day runs combining the efficient multiphoton detection of GAMS-4000 with the good charged particle detection of the Omega Spectrometer to search for other non-qq mesons in the reaction pp —» pfX°p$ at 450 GeV/c. Although many final states will be studied those decaying to rjrj^r]' and TJ'T]' are of particular interest and the statistics in these channels will be greatly enhanced. This study will act as an important input in helping to understand non-perturbative QCD.

The aim of this experiment is to measure the influence of strong fields on QED-processes like: Emission of coherent radiation and pair-production when multi-hundred GeV electrons/positrons and photons penetrate single crystals near axial/planar directions. The targets will be diamond, Si, Ge and W crystals.
QED is a highly developed theory and has been investigated experimentally in great detail. In recent years it has become technically possible to investigate QED-processes in very strong electromagnetic fields around the characteristic strong field Eo = m2c3/eh = 1.32xlO16 V/cm. The work of such a field over the compton length equals the electron mass. The theoretical description of QED in such fields is beyond the framework of perturbation theory. Such fields are only obtained in laboratories for a) heavy ion collisions b) interactions of multi-GeV electrons

In fact it turns out that crystals are unique for this type of experiment. The point is that the probabilities of processes in axial/planar fields are determined by the magnitude of these fields in the particle's rest frame. iS So the strong field parameter x given by x — 7 E/Eo where E<> is given above, E is the local field from the crystals axis ( - 1011 V/cm) and 7 the Lorentz factor for the particle (105 - 106). So for multi-hundred GeV electrons/positrons x~values of one or more are possible. During the last years dramatic effects on radiation emission, pair production (pp) and shower formation has been found. Radiation is enhanced more than two orders of magnitude, pp is en- hanced around one order of magnitude and radiation lengths along axial directions are shortened 10-15 times compared to Bethe-Heitler values for shower formation. The dramatic enhanced emission could lead to a new 7-source. The photons should be polarized - investigations are in progress.
For investigations of the predicted strong field effects the experimental setup used by NA43 in the H2 beam of the North Hall is unique. The two drift chambers 40m apart on the incident side gives an angular resolution of 3-4 /xrad. There are two positions for crystal mounting on high precision goniometers inside dedicated vacuum chambers. In Vac. Chamber I one probes the crystal with e+/e~, in Vac. Chamber II with photons. These may be tagged with the combination of DC3, Bend3 and DC4. Crystal II may be cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature DC1-DC2-DC3 allows to measure the scattering taking place in crystal I. With C (=converter) and SSD is measured the average photon multiplicity. Finally the pair spectrometer represented by Bend4, DC5 and DC6 is used to determine single photon energies. The NA43 detector therefore is a multi-purpose setup in which may be studied many aspects of strong QED effects. In 1996 is studied pair production for 10-150 GeV photons in aligned crystals (Ge, W and Ir) both at room temperature and cooled to -180 °C. Also measured is radiation in aligned Ge crystals; photon multiplicities, single photon spectra and effects of radiative cooling on beam divergence. Our program on electromagnetic showers generated in crystals, is extended to include several Ge thicknesses, to measuring the shower profiles and to a new heavy compound crystal with Xo = 1 cm.

The focusing spectrometer is a device based on existing magnets and proven technology that solves the problem of extracting physics in the high-particle-multiplicity environment of high energy heavy-ion collisions (from S on S up to Pb on Pb) as well as in proton-proton collisions. It sweeps a small central acceptance over interesting regions of phase space, thereby dealing with only a few particles at a time. Because of its resulting excellent momentum resolution, ability to identify particles (TT^ , JiT^, j?, p,
A system of Cerenkov counters together with the TOF system selects singles and pairs of identified particles and a Si-multiplicity counter provide information on the impact parameter of the collisions.

The NA45/CERES experiment investigates primarily the production of electron-positron pairs and of direct photons in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. For electron-positron pairs the experiment studies the continuum in the mass region of about 0.05 to 2 GeV/c2 and the vector mesons Q, U>, and, 4>. Since for electromagnetic probes final state interactions are practically negligible these observables are unique for studying the evolution and dynamics of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions from the hot and dense early stage where a quark-gluon plasma is expected to be formed to the final freeze-out stage when hadrons decouple.
The experiment also studies the spectral distributions of charged particles, their distribution relative to the reaction plane, and identified high momentum pions. Another topic of investi- gation are QED pairs produced in peripheral nuclear collisions. References SPSLC/94-1/P280, SPSLC/95-20/M542, 3PSLC/96-35.P280.Add.l 71 IONS/EL.PAIR NA45/2
The first phase of the experiment, NA45, has been concluded with two main results: i) There is a significant excess, by a factor of about 5, of dielectron pairs in the mass range between 0.2 and 1 GeV/c2 in S-Au collisions at central rapidities as compared to the hadronic background established in p-Be and p-Au collisions, ii) The measurement of photons in S-Au collisions by the conversion method provides an upper limit (90 % CL) of 7% for direct photons relative to photons from hadron decays.
For the Pb beam program the experiment is upgraded in steps (NA45/2). In a first stage the multiplicity- and rate-capability where increased and the experiment found that i) also in Pb-Au collisions there is an enhancement in the number of dielectron pairs comparable to what was found with the S-beam and ii) the enhancement grows much steeper than linearly with the charged particle multiplicity in the event. Driven by these results the experiment is upgraded further by the addition of a TPC to improve the momentum resolution.
The experimental set-up consists of a double spectrometer covering a region near mid-rapidity (2.1 < r\ < 2.7) with full azimuthal coverage. A set of silicon drift chambers (SiDCl/2) is used to reconstruct the vertex and to measure the polar and azimuthal angles of each produced particle. Electrons are identified in two Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors (RICH). They operate at a threshold of 7=32 and are essentially blind to the produced hadrons. In a pad chamber downstream of the second RICH another spacepoint is measured for every particle. A first momentum measurement is derived from the deflection in azimuth in a magnetic field generated by two superconducting coils (main coils) as indicated by the dashed lines in the figure. In the upgrade, the pad chamber is replaced by a TPC continously tracking particles over 2m in a magnetic field generated by two large coils (TPC coils), again with opposite current directions to deflect particles mostly in azimuth. The aim is to achieve a mass resolution in the Q,u, region of 2%.

The physics motivation of the experiments of the Spin Muon Collaboration is to better under- stand how the nucléon spin is built-up by its partons and to test the fundamental Bjorken sum rule. The spin-dependent stucture functions gi(x) of the proton and the deuteron are determined 76 from the measured cross section asymmetries for deep inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarized muons from longitudinally polarized nucleons. The experiment is similar to the NA2 one of the European Muon Collaboration in which the violation of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule for the proton was found. The apparatus is the upgraded forward spectrometer which was used originally by the European and New Muon Collaborations. To minimize the systematic uncertainties the target contains two oppositely polarized cells, which were exposed to the muon beam simultaneously. For the experiments in 1991 and 1992 the original EMC polarized target was reinstalled. In 1993 a new polarized target was put into operation. It has higher cooling power, higher field homogeneity and longer target cells. Deuteron target material, in the form of deuterated butanol beads, was used in 1994 and 1995. Proton target material was used in 1993 and 1996, but in 1996 butanol was replaced by ammonia which provides a 30 % better dilution factor. Measurements of the transverse spin-dependent asymmetry were performed during the 1993 proton run and during the 1995 deuteron run. The beam polarization is either determined from the energy spectrum of the positrons from muon decay in flight or from the asymmetry in muon scattering from the polarized electrons in a parallel or anti-parallel magnetized iron foil.
The structure function gi(x) is measured in the range 0.003 < x < 0.7, which gives con- tributions to the first moments SoMa9i(x>Qo)dx = 0139 ± 0.006(stat.) ±0.010(syst.) and So:ooz9i(x>Ql)dx = °-041 ± 0.007(stat.) ±0.005(syst.) for the proton and the deuteron respec- tively. The results for the full moments from 0 to 1 depend on how the measurements are extrapolated down to x = 0. However, independently whether a Regge or a QCD like approach is used, the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule is violated and the Bjorken sum rule is confirmed. The work will continue in 1998 with a more detailed QCD analysis, studies of less inclusive channels, and the final publications.

The prime goal of the experiment is to measure the CP violating parameter Re(e'/e) with an accuracy of 2 10~4. The experiment uses two nearly collinear Ks and KL beams produced concurrently and distinguished by tagging the protons producing the Ks component. In this way the double ratio R of decay rates of the KL and Ks into two pions,
is measured with minimal systematic uncertainties. Charged mode decays K —» ir+ir~ are measured in a magnetic spectrometer with a central dipole magnet and two pairs of large and high precision drift chambers on each side. Neutral mode decays K -* -Koir° are recorded in a 10 m3 homogeneous liquid krypton calorimeter. This novel detector has fine transverse segmentation (2x2) cm2, energy resolution better than 1% above 10 GeV shower energy and sub-nanosecond time resolution. Data from all sub-detectors are collected fully pipelined, merged locally and sent from the experiment site to the computer centre over a fast optical network.
The first data taking period for Re(e'/e) in 1997 has yielded more than half a million KL -> 2TT° decays in about 40 days. Detector and central recording performance were very satisfactory. A tenfold increase in event statistics is expected in the next two years.

Experiment NA49 measures charged particle and neutral strange particle production over a large part of phase space in Pb and p beam reactions. The main aim is the search for evidence of the deconfinement transition predicted by QCD for matter of sufficient energy density. The transient existence of a deconfined phase in the early stage of the collision is expected to modify the particle spectra and composition, the correlations and the space-time evolution of the final state as compared to a scenario of confined hadronic matter. In addition to high precision inclusive measurements of these quantities, the large particle multiplicity in Pb-I-Pb collisions and the wide acceptance of NA49 allow for the first time to measure the event by event fluctuations of observables like mean transverse momentum or temperature, the K/TT ratio, and the multiplicity. In order to study the effects of normal nuclear matter p+p and p+nucleus collisions are measured for comparison. The latter data will provide information on these reactions of yet unavailable precision and detail.
The detector of NA49 is a large acceptance magnetic spectrometer with dE/dx and time of flight measurement. The beam particle trajectory is accurately determined by small propor- tional chambers (BPD's). Two time projection chambers (VTPC1,2 of 3m3 each) in large aperture (lm gap) analysis magnets of 4.5Tm bending power each and two TPC's downstream of the magnets (MTPCL,R of 20m3 each) determine the trajectories and the specific energy loss dE/dx (4-5% accuracy) of charged particles. The TPC's use a slow drift-velocity low-diffusion gas mixture of Ne/CO2 90:10 (VTPC's) and Ar/CO2/CH4 90:5:5 (MTPC's) in order to opti- mise tracking accuracy and 2-track resolution. Time of flight is measured by two scintillator tile walls (TOF-L1,TOF-R1) of 891 elements each and 60-70ps time resolution and by two
84 IONS/TPC-HADRONS NA49 scintillator grids (TOF-L2,TOF-R2) of 90ps time resolution. Particle identification over a wide momentum range is accomplished by combining the information from dE/dx and TOF. A cell structured ring calorimeter (RCAL) measures the transverse energy flow and event anisotropy. A forward calorimeter (VCAL) shielded by a collimator (COLL) detects the energy of the spectator nucleons in Pb beam collisions and allows to trigger on the impact parameter of the reaction. Pestov counter time of flight arrays are under construction and will be placed at the sides of VTPC1 to extend the acceptance for KK interferometry and meson production studies. A special multiplicity detector around the target has been built and will be used to select the impact parameter in p-nucleus collisions at the trigger level.

The experiment studies dimuons produced in Pb-Pb and p-A collisions, at nucleon-nucleon cm. energies of y/s = 18 and 30 GeV respectively. The setup accepts dimuons in a kinematical range roughly defined as 0.1 < ye.m, < 1.0 and MT > lGeV/c, and stands maximal luminosity (5 10T Pb ions and 107 interactions per burst). The physics includes signals which probe QGP (Quark-Gluon Plasma), namely the , 3/ip and ' vector mesons and thermal dimuons, and reference signals, namely the (unseparated) p and w mesons, and Drell-Yan dimuons. The experiment is a continuation, with improved means, of NA38, and expands its study of charmonium suppression and strangeness enhancement.
The muons are measured in the former NA10 spectrometer, which is shielded from the hot target region by a beam stopper and absorber wall. The muons traverse 5 m of BeO and C. The impact parameter is determined by a Zero Degree Calorimeter (Ta with silica fibres). Energy dissipation and particle production are measured by an Electromagnetic Colorimeter (Pb and scintillating fibres) and a Multiplicity Detector (Si strips).

We propose to search for long-lived massive strange matter particles, the so-called "strangelets", in Pb-Pb collisions at CERN. In this experiment, we intend to look for positively and nega- tively charged massive objects at 0° production angle, using the H6-beamline in the North Experimental Area as a charged-particle spectrometer. The strangelets will be identified by the measurement of their rigidity R in the spectrometer, their velocity, and their charge. The velocity will be determined from the time-of-flight (TOF) measurements provided by TOF scintillation counter hodoscopes positioned along the beam spectrometer. A hadron calorimeter will be used to complement the momentum measurement with the spectrometer by an independent energy information, thus providing redundancy for effective background rejection. The interesting charge and mass range (5 < m < 120 GeV/c2) of the stangelets can be covered quite effectively by two settings of the beam spectrometer with the rigidities R = 200 GV and R = 100 GV. Assuming a distance of 550 m between the production target and the last counters in the beam spectrometer, the stangelets should have a lifetime -yr > 2 10~6 s in order to be detected. It is the aim of the experiment to reach a detection sensitivity for strangelets of 10~9 to 10"10 per interaction.
We further propose to investigate particle production in relativistic heavy ion collisions with emphasis on antibaryon (antiproton, antideuteron) production by measuring their production yields over 2 units of rapidity each and at production angles from 0 to 12 mrad. The particles will be identified by means of CEDAR and threshold Cerenkov counters, and by TOF measurements. References SPSLC/92-16/P268, SPSLC/95-72/M570 91 AIR GAP

The purpose of this experiment is to study the process of electromagnetic dissociation (ED) that occurs at impact parameters large enough so that there is no nuclear interaction. In these cases strong electromagnetic fields are produced for a short time at the nucleus. For large charges and ultrarelativistic energies, the intense electromagnetic pulse produces cross-sections much larger than the total hadronic cross-section. These effects place significant constraints on the storage times of the heavy ion beams planned for RHIC and LHC.
In this experiment we measure the cross-sections for the one- and two-neutron removal processes resulting from the interaction of 160 GeV/nucleon Pb beams on Au and Co targets. Thin Au targets were bombarded in the beam line of the dimuon spectrometer. Gamma rays from the residual nuclides produced in the bombardment were measured to determine the saturation activities of 196Au and 195Au resulting from ED of the Au target. This along with cross-sections for deep spallation products will enable us to determine ED cross-sections for one- and two- neutron reactions from Au. In the future additional bombardments using Co targets will enable us to observe large ED effects in a low Z target.

We propose to measure cross-sections for fast muon-induced production of radionuclides. Firstly to study the contribution of fast-muon-induced reactions to the in-situ production of cosmogenic radionuclides in the lithosphere. Concrete is used to simulate the rock and to generate a secondary particle shower. The reaction channels to be measured are: C to 10Be, 0 to 10Be and 14C, Si to 26A1, S to 26A1, Ca to 36C1, Fe to B3Mn and 205Tl to 2OSPb. The energy dependent cross-section can be described by one single parameter cr0 and the energy dependence E " on the mean energy E. The irradiations of the targets is done at CERN. The produced radionuclides are measured by accelerator mass spectrometry in Munich and Zurich.
Secondly, muon induced signals can be a major source of background in experiments with low event rates located deep underground. We intent to study the produced radioactivity by fast- muon-induced reactions in a liquid scintillation detector. Our main interest is the measurement of the cross sections for 12C to nC and 7Be. In addition we will study the produced radioactivity in targets of Saphire(Al203) and Cu for a cryogenic dark matter detector.

The production of fast (1 MeV - 1 GeV) neutrons in high energy muon-nucleon interactions is poorly understood. Yet it is essential to the understanding of the background in many underground neutrino experiments and, in particular, may hold relevance for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We propose an experiment to investigate fast neutron production using the M2 muon beam at the CERN SPS.

We propose to perform a measurement of the production rates of TT'S and K's and their ratio below 60 GeV/c from 450 GeV/c protons hitting a Be target. These data are of great impor- tance for the correct evaluation of the neutrino flux at the present and future SPS neutrino experiments. The apparatus of the NA52 experiment has the capability of performing the mea- surement, using about two weeks of proton beam time and a target closely resembling the one used in the current SPS neutrino beam line.

The goal of the experiment is to study the production of strange and multi-strange particles in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This study was initiated at the OMEGA spectrometer, where three ion experiments have been performed: WA85 (S-W collisions at 200 A GeV/c), WA94 (S-S collisions at 200 A GeV/c) and WA97 (Pb-Pb collisions at 160 A GeV/c).
The experiment aims at extending the scope of WA97 by:
- investigating the beam energy dependence of the enhancements of multi-strange particle production reported by the previous experiments, and by - determining the baryon density at central rapidity from the measurement of positive and negative multiplicities and correlating this information with the strangeness yields.
The apparatus consists mainly of silicon pixel detector planes, both for the tracking telescope and for the multiplicity detection system.

COMPASS is a new fixed target experiment at the SPS to study hadron spectroscopy with hadron beams (up to 300 GeV/c) and hadron structure with polarized muon beams (100- 200 GeV/c). The main physics objective of the muon beam program is the measurement of AG, the gluon polarization in a longitudinally polarized nucléon. More generally, it is planned to measure the flavour separated spin structure functions of the nucléons in polarized muon - polarized nucléon deep inelastic scattering, both with longitudinal and transverse target polarization modes. For these measurements a new 1.3 m long polarized target and a superconducting solenoid with 200 mrad acceptance with be used. The hadronic program comprises a search for glueballs in the high mass region (above 2 GeV/c2) in exclusive diffractive pp scattering, a study of leptonic and semileptonic decays of charmed hadrons with high statistics and precision, and Primakoff scattering with various probes. A detailed investigation of charmed and doubly charmed baryons will be performed in a second stage of the experiment. For these measurements a highly segmented silicon target detector and high resolution electromagnetic calorimeters will be constructed.
The setup consists of two independent spectrometers, one for small angle and one for large angle particles, giving a large angular acceptance for all measurements. Each spectrometer comprises full particle identification using RICH detectors, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry and muon detection. Owing to precision tracking with silicon detectors, gaseous strip detectors and drift tubes high momentum resolution is obtained. The measurements will be performed with high intensity beams (2 108 muons/spill and 108 hadrons/spill) allowing to collect the needed statistics. The fully pipelined readout scheme can cope with the foreseen trigger rates (about 100 Khz) without noticeable deadtime. Data taking will start in 1999/2000.

We propose to use nuclear emulsions for the study of nuclear collisions of 207Pb, 197Au, and any other heavy-ion beams when they are available. We have, in the past, used 32S at 200A GeV and 160 at 200A and 60A GeV from CERN (Experiment EMU08) and at present the analysis is going on with 28Si beam from BNL at 14.5A GeV. It will be important to compare the previous and the present investigations with the new 207Pb beam at 60-160A GeV. We want to measure in nuclear emulsion, on an event by event basis, shower particle multiplicity, pseudorapidity density and density fluctuations of charged particles, charge multiplicity and angular distributions of projectile fragments, production and interaction cross-sections of heavily ionizing particles emitted from the target fragmentation. Special emphasis will be placed on the analysis of events produced in the central collisions which are selected on the basis of low energy fragments emitted from the target excitation. It would be interesting to find out if there exists a new form of matter, i.e. quark matter. We shall also look at the multiplicity within a fixed window of pseudorapidity and will study how the fluctuations in this quantity depend on the size of the window. The fluctuations dependence on the window size are proportional to the size raised to some power, is evident for the phenomena of intermittency, which basically means random deviations from smooth or regular behaviour, has recently gained a considerable interest in particle and nuclear physics. The flux of the heavy-ion beam will be ~ 2 103 particles/cm2 directed to two or three stacks of pellicles each of which shall have about two dozen 600 fim thick, electron sensitive emulsions of sizes 4" x 6" and 4" x 8". We plan to produce the analysis of about 500 events within one year after the exposure and the development of the stacks.

This experiment has requested exposures of nucleax emulsion detectors with lead beams at 30 - 160A GeV at the heavy ion facility at the CERN SPS and has exposed stacks and chambers at the lead run in the fall of 1996. For collisions of such massive nuclei as Pb+Pb and Pb+Ag at ultrarelativistic energies, theoretical estimates suggest the possibility of a phase transition from normal hadronic matter to a quark gluon plasma.
The aim of the experiment is to study multiparticle production globally and locally, fluctuations in particle densities and the break up of dense nuclear matter in central Pb+Pb and Pb+Ag interactions. The experiment employs emulsion chambers with thin Pb and Ag target foils as well as conventional emulsion pellicle stacks. The emulsion chambers have sufficiently good 114 IONS EMU12 spatial resolution to obtain a high efficiency for tracking, even at the highest particle densities. Central interactions can be selected by the number of charges found in a narrow forward cone, which essentially represent the non-interacting part of the incident nucleus. The measurements of the chambers are done with previously used semi-automatic microscope systems and with newly developed CCD-based systems where the images are automatically processed.

The aim of this experiment is to study the characteristics of particle production in relativistic heavy ion interaction in general and search for signatures for formation of quark-gluon-plasma in particular. We propose to measure event by event (i) multiplicity and pseudorapidity rj distributions of singly charged relativistic hadrons globally and in limited regions of rj and (ii) multiplicity and angular distributions of recoiling protons and nuclear fragments to study the general features. This data may also be used to study the relevant signatures of quark-gluon- plasma e.g. pseudorapidity density distributions and its fluctuations. Since the signatures of axions in emulsion plates exposed to heavy ion beams are already reported, we propose to scan these plates for further search over axions. Further multifractality in particle production can also be studied.

The aim of this experiment is to investigate high energy heavy ion central collisions by the use of emulsion magnetic chamber with high spatial resolution. The emulsion chamber consists of 50 emulsion layers 50 microns thick each coated on 25 microns mylar base. A thin lead target plate 300 microns thick is installed immediately in front of the first emulsion layer. It is placed in the transverse magnetic field B ~ 2 Tesla and is to be installed perpendicularly to Pb nucleus beam. This set-up enables to measure full 3-momenta and charge signs of secondary particles. Specific goal is to carry out detailed analysis of individual events with super high multiplicity of secondaries. These data are to be used for investigation of properties of super hot/dense matter, in particular to look for and analyze possible manifestations of quark-gluon plasma in central Pb-Pb collisions at energies of 160 GeV/nucleon.

The EMU05 Collaboration proposes to conduct new lead-beam experiments at CERN SPS to investigate multi-particle correlations and isospin fluctuations. New lead-beam experiments and automated-analyses will be performed in the EMU05 exper- iment, measuring high multiplicity tracks (more than 1,500 tracks per event in Pb-Pb inter- actions). The dectector and analysis system to be used are the MAGIC chambers (Magnetic- Interferometric-Emulsion-Chamber) and an automated CAVIA microscope (Computer-Assisted- Visual-Image-Analysis) for track analyses.
Two experiments are requested: One is the almost identical exposures with the 1.8 Tesla con- ventional magnet at the West Hall as we did with oxygen and sulphur beams. Another exposure is requested with a new 7.4 Tesla superconducting magnet that was created recently for this experiment. The experimental site for this superconducting magnet operation can be the H3 beamline of the West Hall as in the past heavy-ion exposure experiments.

An improvement in momentum measurements (to 1.0% resolution) is expected in this work by utilizing a 7.4 Tesla super-conducting magnet. This will also let us investigate the particle ratio ^C^ and the charged hyperon production (S, S, Ji) at small rapidities (y < 2).
The event-by-event measurements will continue to study tranverse momentum, rapidity-azimuth fluctuations, and the two-particle correlations. The study of the multiparticle correlations and isospin clustering are most important. Isospin clustering can be significant in the lead-lead col- lisions, if the theoretical predictions are valid: (1) multiple Bose-Einstein interference (2) pos- sible "Correlated Classical Pion Field" (Blaizot et al.), "Impulsive Twist of the Chiral Axis" (Bjorken) or "Disordered Chiral Condensate" (Taylor) and (3) "Coherent Long Wavelength Isospin Oscillations after a Chiral Quench" (Rajagapol and Wilczek). The EMU05 pioneered in testing the isospin clustering prior to these latest theoretical conjectures.
The finite-temperature chiral symmetry restoration will also be explored by analyzing the unlike-sign, two-particle invariant mass distribution in terms of the resonance production and hypothetical mass-reduction of the scalar-isoscalar (a) mesons, a chiral doublet vector mesons (NEXT PAGE(S) left BLANK

Six stacks of nuclear track detectors (CR39 and Makrofol) were exposed to 158 A GeV Pb20T ions at the CERN-SPS in November 1996. The main purpose of the experiment was the calibration of the CR39 nuclear track detector used in a large area experimental search for magnetic monopoles at the Gran Sasso Laboratory (the MACRO experiment). Different targets (C, CH2, CR39, Cu and Pb) were used in order to study also the fragmentation properties of ultrarelativistic lead nuclei. The exposures were performed at normal incidence and at a density of about 2000 ions/cm2. The total number of lead ions in a stack was about 5.8 x 104. For the stack with the lead target, we measured the base area and the length of the etched cones. The analysis of the other stacks is in progress.
Fig. 1 shows the distribution of the average base areas of the etched cones produced in CR39 by relativistic lead ions and their fragments. The averages are made over 4 measurements of the bases of the etched cones in two sheets of CR39. At Z = 20 the charge resolution is about 0.2 e. For Z > 74 the nuclear fragment peaks are mixed with the lead beam peak.
Fig. 2 shows the cone length distribution for Pb207 ions and their fragments produced in the lead target; we obtain a charge resolution of about 0.19 e for Z = 82 ions using a single measurement in one face of CR39. Notice the Z = 83 peak, which corresponds to a charge pick-up reaction.
We obtain a single calibration curve of our CR39 in the charge region 7 < Z < 83, combining the two types of measurements.
Using the data from the 1994 exposure, we computed the total charge exchange fragmentation cross sections for AZ > 7 and AZ > 1 of the Pb ions on the H, C, 0, Cu and Pb nuclei. As an example, we obtained i(Pb, H) - 2020 ± 220 mb. We expect to improve the accuracy of our results, by completing the analysis of the 1996 exposure.

The collisions of heavy ions at relativistic energies have been studied to explore a number of questions related with hot and dense nuclear matter in order to extend our knowledge of nuclear equation-of-state. There are other aspects of these interactions which are studied to expound the process of projectile and/or target disintegrations. The disintegrations in question could be simply binary fissions or more complex processes leading to spallation or complete fragmentation. These important aspects of nuclear reactions are prone to investigations with nuclear track detectors.
One of the comparatively new track detector materials, CR-39, is sensitive enough to record particles of Z > 6 with almost 100% efficiency up to highly relativistic energies. The wide angle acceptance and exclusive measurements possible with plastic track detectors offer an opportunity to use them in a variety of situations in which high energy charged fragments are produced. The off-line nature of measuring track data and small beam time needs without special safety requirements make the exposure conditions almost non-intrusive. Using CERN beams of 107 MeV/nucleon 16O and 86 MeV/nucleon 12C, interactions with gold targets have been studied previously at PINSTECH.

The annihilation of a stopped antiproton on the surface of a target nucleus produces on the average five pions with a mean energy of 230 MeV. The high excitation of the nuclei with low angular momentum transfer can also be achieved by direct pion-nucleus interactions. The fission probabilities of highly excited nuclei can be explained on the basis of high energy limit of statistical theory. Previously the binary fission and higher multiplicity break-up of various nuclei caused by the absorption of pions has been studied by our group. The mechanism of nuclear excitation may still be the same when an antiproton annihilates in a nucleus and produces pions. It would be interesting to see whether the p annihilation produces high enough excitation energies for nuclear phase-transition to take place. If so, then the fragmentation would overwhelm binary and ternary fission process. The use of a highly sensitive plastic detector, CR-39, was made by our group in a number of studies involving the registration of fission fragments and higher multiplicity events. It is possible to etch the latent tracks formed in this dielectric material by all ions of Z > 6 incident at highly relativistic energies. The etch-cone diameter can be related to the charge of incident nuclear fragment. The wide-angle acceptence and Air -detection arrangement of this method offers a unique possibility of exclusive measurements. The off-line nature of measurements and very small beam-time required without any need of special safety requirements make this method of detection very attractive.

The hyperon decay spectrometer (PS185) at LEAR together with a "frozen spin" target will allow the determination of the spin configuration of the reaction pp —> A A. Measurements of spin transfer from the polarized target proton to the final state A hyperon can distinguish between proposed ss production scenarios. They will also provide new experimental input to the question of the strange quarks/antiquarks as carriers of part of the spin of the nucleon. A 20-day run with an average antiproton beam intensity of 500.000 p/sec provides a determination of spin transfer and depolarization parameters at three different incident antiproton momenta between 1550 MeV/c and 1820 MeV/c with an accuracy of the order 0.1.

The aim of the experiment is to investigate new phenomena in the collision of antiprotons with atoms. Through the comparison with already existing proton data, a clean signal for charge effects (Z* -effects ) in atomic collisions is obtained.
1) Stopping Power - the Barkas Effect
The stopping power for antiprotons was previously measured in the energy range from 200 keV to 4 MeV by PS194 using active silicon targets, and a large Barkas effect (up to 30%) was identified. The origin of the Barkas effect is the polarization of the target electrons by the projectile. In the last run, a new and universal technique was developed. It consists of measuring TOF of the degraded antiproton beam before and after traversal of the target (see figure). The incident and exit TOF is determined from an upstream scintillator, an electrical mirror with micro-channel plate detecting secondary electrons from the target, and a downstream scintillator. First data from gold has been obtained, showing an antiproton stopping power less than half that for protons at 200 keV. This technique will be used to measure stopping powers on both light and heavy materials between 3 MeV and presumably 50 keV.
2) Single ionization
Single ionization of He and H2 has been studied by PS194 for antiproton energies down to 50 keV. Owing to the polarization of the target atoms during the collisions, the cross-section for antiproton impact is smaller than for proton impact. This difference grows when the projectile velocity is lowered towards the value corresponding to that of the target electrons. However, at such velocities and below, the collisions become adiabatic, and, in the case of antiproton
References SPSLC/91-3/PSCC/P64/Add.S 135 LEAR/IONIZATION PS194/3 impact, the cross-section is believed to stay fairly constant, while the proton cross-section goes to zero. We will study this effect by measuring the single ionization cross-section in the simple targets He and H2 in the energy range 10-100 keV. For this experiment, the electrical mirror with channel plate used in the stopping-power experiment is replaced with a gas cell detecting the ions with a channeltron. Also the single ionization cross-section for atomic hydrogen will be measured.

The aim of the experiment is to carry out precision tests of CP, T and CPT on the neutral kaon system through K°—K° interferometry using LEAR as an intense source. A beam of 106 p events/second is brought to rest in a hydrogen target producing K° and K° events through the reaction channels :
pp . -> K° + (Ä-7T+)
The neutral strange particles and their antiparticles are tagged by detecting in the magnetic field the sign of the accompanying charged kaons identified via Cerenkovs and scintillators. The experiment has the unique feature that the decays from particles and antiparticles are recorded under the same operating conditions using tracking chambers and a gas sampling electromag- netic calorimeter. The measured time-dependent K°-K° asymmetries for non-leptonic and semi-leptonic decays are sensitive to CP and T violation in different and complementary ways. They also provide sensitive tests of CPT. Hardware processors are used to reconstruct and select the different decay topologies on-line in < 5 //s. They provide an overall reduction factor of ~ 1000.
First results have been obtained for the time-dependent asymmetries in the 7r+7r~, the semilep- tonic and 3x channels, from which the CP, T and CPT parameters have been evaluated with statistical significance better than that of many existing measurements. In some cases the results are unique.

For the first time, antiprotons with energies 1O10 times lower than those in LEAR can be stored and studied over long times in a small apparatus. The first measurement at this new, low energy frontier is a 1000-fold improvement in the measured antiproton mass. The mass dependent cyclotron frequencies, first for antiprotons then for protons orbiting in the same magnetic field, are compared to establish that the antiproton and proton masses are the same to at least 4 parts in 108. This is the most stringent test of whether a baryon system is invariant under CPT transformations. A special trap geometry and a superconducting solenoid which cancels fluctuations in the magnetic field in the accelerator hall were crucial to this greatly improved measurement. The current objective is to improve the precision by one or two orders of magnitude.
Antiprotons from LEAR at 5.9 MeV, slow below 3 keV via collisions in a thin metal window, and are caught in a trap 13 cm long. Via repeated collisions with cold electrons stored earlier in the same trap, the antiprotons cool in tens of seconds to thermal equilibrium with the electrons near 4.2 K, an energy of 0.5 x 10~3 eV. In one trial, such cryogenic antiprotons were stored in the mm3 volume of an inner trap for two months before being deliberately ejected. The storage lifetime so established, more than 3.4 months, is the longest directly measured lifetimes limit for antiprotons. It requires a background gas density less than 100 atoms/cm3. For an ideal gas at 4.2 K this would correspond to a pressure less than 5 x 10"17 Torr .

The Crystal Barrel is a 4ir spectrometer designed to provide complete and precise information on practically every final state produced in pp and pd annihilations at low energy and to collect high statistics data samples. Selective triggers can be applied when necessary. The physics goal is to identify all light mesons in the mass range from 0.14 to 2.3 GeV/c2, to determine their quantum numbers and decay properties and to study the annihilation dynam- ics. The main interest is to find the glueball and hybrid degrees of freedom predicted in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics. The principal components of the apparatus are:
1. A barrel shaped electromagnetic calorimeter for the detection of photons. It consists of 1380 CsI(Tl) crystals read out by photodiodes via wavelength shifter. 2. A 22-layer cylindrical jet drift chamber for the tracking of charged particles. It contains 585 sense wires read out at both ends. Charge division provides information on the coordinate parallel to the wires and the total charge deposit is used to measure dE/dx. 3. A silicon ^-strip vertex dectector to provide a multiplicity trigger very close to the target and to improve the momentum and vertex resolution. It is subdivided into 15 modules, each with 128 strips and surrounds the target at a radius of 1.2 cm. 4. The incoming cooled antiprotons (beam momenta from 0.1 to 1.9 GeV/c) are detected by sil- icon hodoscopes. The whole detector is embedded in a solenoidal magnet with field strength up to 1.5 T.

The availability of ultra-low energy antiprotons is a crucial ingredient for the execution of the gravity measurements PS200. We have developed a method to provide such low energy antiprotons based on a large Penning trap (the PS200 catching trap). This system can accept a fast-extracted pulse from LEAR, reduce the energy of the antiprotons in the pulse from 5.9 MeV to several tens of kilovolts using a degrading foil, and then capture the antiprotons in a large Penning trap. These antiprotons are cooled by electrons previously admitted to the trap and are collected in a small region at the center of the trap. We have demonstrated our capability to capture up to 1 million antiprotons from LEAR in a single shot, electron cool these antiprotons, and transfer up to 95% of them into the inner, harmonic region. A storage time in excess of 1 References PSCC/86-2/P94, PSCC/86-26/M260, PSCC/88-35/M292, PSCC/89-2J/M302, PSCC/90-34/M319, SPSLC/92-64/M514, SPSLC/93- 35/M528, SPSLC/94-31/MS38, SPSLC/95-2/P2S5 149 LEAR/GRAV PS200 hour was observed. These results have been obtained with the cryogenic trap vacuum coupled to a room temperature vacuum at about 10~10 Torr, which is an important consideration for experiments requiring transfer of the antiprotons from the catching trap system to a different experimental set-up. Following are short summaries of two experiments of this kind.
When an antiproton is injected into a thick target, it loses its kinetic energy via multiple inelastic collisions down to near thermal energy and is trapped into an atomic orbital of a target atom (exotic atom formation), suffers cascading Auger and/or radiative transitions, and is finally absorbed by the target nucleus. Although a variety of experiments have been done to study the character of this exotic atom itself, mainly through X-ray measurements, a comprehensive picture of the trapping process including its very beginning has not yet been obtained. The major difficulty exists in the fact that the available lowest energy of the projectile was in the range of MeV/u, i.e. a thick target was inevitable to stop the projectile. In this case, both exotic atom and ionized electrons are readily "degraded" by the thick target, and so the study of the initial stage of the trapping was almost impossible. However, using a slow mono- energetic antiproton beam from a Penning trap, the major difficulty described above disappears immediately. Recent measurements of the cross-sections for single and double ionization of helium as well as for the creation of H^ and H+ for impact of antiprotons in the energy range between 13 and 500 keV have yielded a number of important results. Although atomic collisions have been studied during most of this century, it remains a challenge to understand in detail even the simplest collision process. This is due to the complex dynamics of systems which consist of more than two particles that interact via the Coulomb force. It is therefore, of extreme interest to compare collisions for equivelocity particles of opposite charge, since in this case, the sign of the coupling constant simply reverses. The work in PS194 gave for the first time the opportu- nity to investigate the region of low velocity collisions (where the velocity of the projectile is considerably slower than the velocity of the target electrons) for the impact of massive, point- like, negatively charged particles. At 13 keV one finds the double ionization cross-section for antiproton impact to be an order of magnitude larger than for proton impact. This very high efficiency for the removal of both helium electrons by low energy antiprotons has not yet been explained. Similarily, the ratio between the double and single ionization cross-section for an- tiproton impact on helium is much larger than for proton impact, and is still increasing at the lowest energy observed. It is conceivable that at lower energies this ratio may become larger than unity. Clearly, more experimental work at lower energies is called for to understand the physics involved and we have joined with the PS194 collaboration to investigate these questions.

OBELIX is designed to study exclusive final states of antiproton and antineutron annihilations at low energies with protons and nuclei. The physics motivations of the experiment are:
Sgg)> hybrids (qqg), multiquarks (qqqq) and light mesons (qq) produced in NN annihilations and study of their spectroscopy and decays. Also broad structures will be searched for by comparing identical decay modes in exclusive final states of the same type occuring from initial states with different angular momentum or isospin. • Study of the dynamics of NN interactions and of the dependence of the final and in- termediate resonant states of annihilation upon the quantum numbers of the initial NN state (angular momentum: S and P-wave in pp at rest, isospin, energy). • Search for p annihilations onto more than one nucleon (Pontecorvo reactions).
The experiment studies p and n annihilations on H2, D2 and heavier gas targets at rest and in small energy steps near threshold. Beams of ffs from the LEAR slow extraction and of n's produced by charge exchange in a liquid H2 target upstream of the detector are used. A Spiral Projection Chamber (SPC) is used as vertex detector. The magnet and the jet drift chamber of the Open Axial Field Spectrometer (AFS) axe used for charged particles momentum and dE/dx measurements. Two concentric arrays of plastic scintillators identify and trigger on charged kaons. Gamma showers axe reconstructed in three dimensions with gas sampling calorimeter moduli.
The detector features : 4T acceptance and high segmentation for charged and neutral particles; identification of charged kaons up to 1 GeV/c; good momentum resolution (
