Meeting of Senior Members of the CERN WA80 and NA35 Collaborations, Frankfurt, W. Germany, and Help Write a Joint Letter of Intent Proposing a Joint Experiment to Be Performed when Lead Beams Become Available at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, June 28-July 4,

摘要

The traveler participated in a meeting of the senior members of the CERN WA80 and NA35 collaborations, held June 28--30, 1989, in Frankfurt, FRG. The purpose of the meeting was to produce a joint letter of intent, indicating a joint interest in proposing an experiment to be performed when beams of heavy projectiles, such as lead, become available at the CERN SPS. After several ups and downs, the two collaborations agreed to merge and agreed that the measurement of direct photons and tracking in a time-projection chamber (TPC) are to be the two principal goals of the new collaboration. A fairly detailed letter of intent was drafted. The traveler visited the WA80 and NA35 experiments at CERN. The WA80 experiment is in the process of being moved and/or modified. Measurements of the NA35 vertex magnet were made.
