Abstract

A coordinate tracking unit based on drift chambers (CTUDC) for registering single muons and muon bundles at large zenith angles is created at the MEPhI. The unit consists of multi-wire drift chambers (DCs) with large drift gaps. These DCs were used earlier for the neutrino channel on the U-70 accelerator. The CTUDC consists of two coordinate planes with 8 drift chambers in each, assembled on the opposite sides of the NEVOD Cherenkov water detector (CWD). The effective area of the unit is 29.6 m2. The CWD trigger system and DECOR coordinate-tracking detector provide timestamps for the drift chambers. The first results from the registration of single muons and muon bundles by the unit in combination with other detectors of the NEVOD experimental complex are presented.
