  • Abstract
    A large area, nine chamber transition radiation detector system was designed and constructed for the KTeV rare Kaon decay experiment E799 at Fermilab. The development and performance of this particle identification detector system will be described. The design goal of this system was to be better than 100 : 1 e/π rejection at 90% electron acceptance; however, the system performed much better.
