Abstract
A beam line for electrons with energies in the range of 1-45 GeV, low contamination of hadrons and muons and high intensity up to 106 per accelerator spill at 27 GeV was setup at U70 accelerator in Protvino, Russia. A beam tagging system based on drift chambers with 160 μm resolution was able to measure relative electron beam momentum precisely. The resolution σp/p was 0.13% at 45 GeV where multiple scattering is negligible. This test beam setup provided a possibility to study properties of lead tungstate crystals (PbWO4) for the BTeV experiment at Fermilab.
