The UA5 experiment was the first experiment conducted at the Proton-Antiproton Collider (Sp{{overline|p}}S), a collider using the infrastructure of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The experiment was approved in February 1979, as a collaboration between CERN and the universities of Bonn, Brussels, Cambridge and Stockholm.[1] The spokesperson of the UA5 collaboration was John Rushbrooke.[2]

The object of the experiment was to investigate Centauro events[1] and more generally to perform a first rapid visual survey of the energy region afforded by the then new SPS collider.[3] Measurements were done on proton-antiproton collisions of 540 GeV center-of-mass energy, with the results being published in November 1983.[4] Later, under the name of UA5/2, data was recorded from 900 GeV collisions.[5] No indication of Centauro production was observed, but an upper limit on the production was obtained.[5]

The experimental setup consisted of two large streamer chambers which were placed above and below the Sp{{overline|p}}S beam pipe. The chambers were triggered by requiring hits in scintillation counters at each end. This trigger rejected essentially all elastic and diffractive elements.[4] The streamer chamber tracks were photographed by six cameras, and the tracks were measured, reconstructed and analyzed.
