Hodoscope system for experiments on the scattering of cosmic ray μ-mesons

Abstract

A description is given of the electronic circuits of a large hodoscope system which is being used in experiments on the scattering of μ-mesons. The principle of the method employed is to determine the direction of the trajectory of the particle before and after scattering by means of three systems of crossed counters. The counters through which the particle has passed are identified by means of neon lamps.
