Abstract

The current-carrying, floating wire technique was used to measure the particle momentum versus magnetic field calibration of the EPICS pion spectrometer at LAMPF. Wire orbits were measured through a pair of dipoles bending through 120° in the vertical plane. Measurements were made in situ and corrected for gravitational and frictional effects. The specific manner of correcting for gravitational effects is given. Magnetic field versus particle momentum calibrations were derived with an accuracy of 2 parts in 10 4.
