[Hadroproduction of charmed and bottom mesons (Fermilab experiment E-653): Progress report, March 31, 1984--April 1, 1985]

This progress report describes U of Oklahoma participation in a number of detector development efforts. The first is a beam solid state device which was performance tested in runs during June and July, 1984. This was a partially instrumented test of an array of gridded solid state detectors. A beam drift chamber was also performance tested. This consist of 18 planes of 2 cells each. Each cell has drift distance of 18 mm on each side of the sense wire. Preliminary tests were also performed on a time-of-flight counter system. The system was not totally instrumented but resolution was able to be measured for its central section at least. Tests showed a number of drifts which can be monitored and corrected. Test results were also collected for the hadron calorimeter for experiment E-653 at Fermilab
