Abstract
A wire spark detector is described, which is essentially a coordinate detector with a number of wire planes orientated in two planes. On each wire is threaded a magnetic core of the so-called square loop hysteresis type. A spark in the chamber results in a reversal of the magnetization in the corresponding core. The information concerning an event is stored in a number of switched cores, which can be read out in the usual way by threading additional wires through the cores. An efficiency >90% was measured in a model of the chamber. The spatial resolution was of the order of one wire spacing. (A.G.W.)
