Spectrometer with a vertex detector for experiments at the IHEP accelerator

The stages of development and the current status of the versatile “ Spectrometerwith a Vertex Detector” setup designed for physics experiments at the U-70accelerator of the Institute for High Energy Physics (Protvino) is described. The main detectorsof the setup are the vertex detectorbased on silicon microstrip detectors, the wide-aperture magnetic spectrometerbased on multiwire proportional chambers, and the lead-glass hodoscopeγ detector. In the setup, there is a fast two-level trigger system for selecting required particle interactions. The key characteristics of the setup systems are presented, and the physical results obtained on it are briefly listed.
