- Summary:
- The SLD is an e⁺e{sup −} detector optimized for Z° physics, and is approaching completion at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The Warm Iron Calorimeter (WIC) is a device built using limited streamer tubes to instrument the magnet yoke, and has double purpose: it will measure the energy of tails of hadronic showers escaping from the Liquid Argon Calorimeter (the main instrument of SLD calorimetry) and the coil, and it will also be used as a muon identifier and tracker. The design choices, construction details, and expected performance have already been described elsewhere. In this note, we report on the present status of the WIC, and show some preliminary results obtained from cosmic ray data. 8 refs., 6 figs.
