Abstract :
A large-angle multiplicity detector (LAMD) system has been developed and used at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) experiment E854: Antiproton Nucleus Interactions. This system performed well with an energetic antiproton beam. Charged-particle multiplicity distributions from p annihilations were measured. The design and performance of the LAMD system are discussed.<>
