Abstract: | We report on the data analysis and techniques used to determine particle identification from the relativistic rise in ionization as detected by CRISIS, a 1 × 1 × 3 m3, 192 cell, ionization-sampling drift chamber containing an 80% argon/20% carbon dioxide gas mixture. For 100 GeV/c protons/antiprotons (pions) we obtain an ionization FWHM of 7.6% (7.9%), which compares well with the design value of 7.8%. The separation between the mean ionization values for the protons and pions was determined to be 7.9%. We also present the analysis of particle identification for secondary particles produced by interactions in the bubble chamber. A statistical method for correcting for the overlapping ionization curves from secondary protons/antiprotons and pions is discussed. |
