TL;DR: The operation of a large flash chamber neutrino detector at Fermilab is described in this paper, which consists of 608 flash chambers and 37 proportional chambers with an active area of 12'×12'.
Abstract: The operation of a large flash chamber neutrino detector at Fermilab is described. The detector consists of 608 flash chambers, and 37 proportional chambers with an active area of 12'×12'. Planes of sand and steel shot are interleaved with the flash chambers and proportional chambers to provide a fine grain sampling of recoil showers. The mass of the detector is 340 tons. The calibration of the instrument for electrons and hadrons in the energy range of 5 to 125 GeV is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system used to monitor the output of 640 high voltage pulsers in a flash chamber neutrino detector, which is designed to detect the most common failure modes of spark gap switched high voltage pulses: failed capacitors and misfiring spark gaps.

TL;DR: In this article, the SU(3) relation σ(K−p → K0X) = 0.5(σ(π −p → π 0X) + 2.2σ (π−p→ ηX)) is approximately valid at high energy throughout the kinematic range, Feynman χ⩾0.7 and −t⩽1 (GeV/c)2, for the final stae particle.

TL;DR: In this paper, a gas purification system for use with a neutrino detector constructed of extruded polypropylene flash chambers is described, where a volume of 90% Ne10% He gas equivalent to the total volume of the detector (50 m 3 ) can be purified every thirty minutes.
