Abstract
The Plastic Ball spectrometer is a 4 pi detector with particle identification for charged particles. It was first used at the Berkeley Bevalac to study nucleus-nucleus collisions at beam energies of hundreds of MeV per nucleon. Recently it has been moved to the CERN SPS for studies of target fragmentation at energies of hundreds of GeV per nucleon. The authors present a complete review of the spectrometer and the physics obtained at the Bevalac, with some recent additions from the work at CERN.
