The IHEP–JINR Neutrino Detector at Neutrino Beams of the U-70 Accelerator (Protvino)

The design and parameters of the IHEP–JINR neutrino detector, the largest experimental setup at the U-70 accelerator (IHEP, Protvino), is described. The main detector components (the drift chambers, the liquid-scintillator counters, the detector of electromagnetic showers, and the magnetic system) are described in detail. The organization of the on-line data-acquisition system and the off-line software is outlined. The main characteristics of the detector are presented. The basic physical results obtained with the setup are briefly described.
