Abstract

A xenon filled multiwire proportional chamber was used to detect synchrotron radiation from high energy electrons traversing the field of a standard spectrometer magnet. Signals from the chamber were used to achieve an electron trigger with a pion rejection of ∼ 17 and an average electron detection efficiency of 81%. Off-line analysis of the chamber signals increased the pion rejection to 59 with an electron efficiency of 77%.
