Abstract

The mechanical construction and electronics of a large-area multiwire ionization hodoscope are described. Each chamber is 0.83 m by 1.65 m with wire spacing of 2.5 cm. The chambers are assembled to compose a hodoscope for a 6.6 m 2·sr cosmic ray detector. Operating characteristics and in-flight performance from two 30 h high-altitude balloon flights are presented.
