Abstract :
The paper describes modifications of the Jülich magnetic spectrometer Big Karl needed to study meson production and especially to investigate charge symmetry breaking effects—an experiment that requires a high-precision measurement. New elements that have been added to Big Karl have extended the spectrometer capabilities to a much wider momentum range. The new features also facilitate simultaneous detection of particles with very different rigidities. The experimental methods for improving background and determining relative acceptance of the spectrometer at various rigidities are presented.
