Özet
Arrays of limited streamer tubes of the Iarocci type were deployed in our experiment at CERN as part of a forward muon detector system with provisions for the beam to pass through the center of each panel in the array. A total of 16 4 m×4 m panels were assembled with inductive readout strips on both sides of each panel. An active feedback system was deployed to regulate the high voltage to the streamer tubes to insure a constant efficiency for minimum ionizing particles. The arrays were operated in this environment for over five years of data taking. Streamer tube track-reconstruction efficiencies and tube replacement rates are reported.

We wish to acknowledge the assistance in the design and development of the electronics of S. Elia, M. Grassi, S. Pedretti, W. Sangalli, and G. Scrocci from SGS Thomson's Subsystems, Engineering & R.F. Division in (Colleoni) Agrate, Italy; C. Planzo of SGS Thomson's Geneva office; as well as G. Franchi, M. Givoletti, and F. Vivaldi of CAEN in Viareggio, Italy. We also gratefully acknowledge the loan of some readout boards during our early deployment from S. Cavestro of the University of Paduova and from L. Votano of the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. We acknowledge the help and assistance of all of the CERN support staff, too numerous to list, who have eased our burdens and provided essential assistance. Among the personnel at CERN, a special thank you must go to Y. Camp, E. (Liz) Cumiskey (now deceased), J-M Demolis, and L. Veronneau. Specific funding support for the ST6/7 detector hardware was provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung und Technologie.
