Title: An Emulsion Spectrograph - A New Technique for the Determination of the Momenta of Fast Charged Particles Part I: Design Considerations and Theory
Abstract: An account is given of a relatively simple device by which the signs and momenta of fast, charged particles can be measured accurately. The particles traverse normally a stack of thin layers of emulsion, separated by large gaps, in a magnetic field. Particle trajectories are reconstructed after the emulsions are developed. Consideration is given in Part I of the paper to the requirements that a stack must satisfy in order to give a maximum detectable momentum of 300 GeV/c. In Part II the construction of an actual stack will be described and an account will be given of some applications.
