Abstract: 

The Pre-Shower detector was built for the high acceptance di-electron spectrometer to identify electrons produced in pion, proton and heavy ion-induced reactions in the 0.2 < p < 1.5 GeV/c momentum range. The system is composed of three layers of wire chambers interleaved with two layers of lead converters for electromagnetic shower formation. A scintillator wall is placed in front of the detector for time-of-flight measurements.

The paper describes the Pre-Shower detector construction, the detector operation, the read-out electronics and its response to charged particles studied with electron, proton and heavy ion beams. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
