    abstract = "The NA49 detector is a wide acceptance spectrometer for the study of
hadron production in p + p, p + A, and A + A collisions at the CERN SPS.
The main components are 4 large-volume TPCs for tracking and particle
identification via dE/dx. TOF scintillator arrays complement particle
identification Calorimeters for transverse energy determination and
triggering, a detector for centrality selection in p + A collisions, and
beam definition detectors complete the set-up. A description of all
detector components is given with emphasis on new technical
realizations. Performance and operational experience are discussed in
particular with respect to the high track density environment of central
Pb + Pb collisions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved."
