ResumoAbstract We describe briefly a method for precise momentum calibration of magnets which combines the well-known floating-wire technique of tracing particle orbits through magnetic fields and electronic readout using magnetostrictive delay lines similar to those used in wire spark chambers. The advantage of this method lies in the rapid and accurate measurement of many particle trajectories in a relatively short period of time. The use of magnetostrictive readout electronics eliminates the tedious work of measuring individual trajectories optically, and provides means by which the procedure can be computer controlled.
