Abstract

A setup is developed at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics for studying cumulative processes in hA and AA interactions with photon and π 0-meson production in the central region of rapidities at high transverse momenta. Lead glass calorimeters and a charged particle rejection system are the main components of the setup. A fast trigger for a high-energy cumulative particle, based on detection of Cherenkov radiation in the lead glasses, is realized in the setup.
