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.Keywords
