If on track1ng a ~ hit the back detector the event was recorded and a number, W = 1000 * F was attached to the event. In addition to using these numbers for weighing x, y displays they were summed (8) to give the total number of ~IS hitting the detector. 8 x S = 8 x 2000 x'10 7 I F x Acceptance M,PT'~ = 1.6 x 10 ce.
