DC Requirements and Solutions

RequirementsSolutions


Large tracking volume (K Long decay length= 340 cm)


Diameter = 4 m, Lenght = 3.3 m


High and uniform reconstruction efficiency (due to the K Long decays distribution)


Uniform cells structure with spatial resolution r-phi resolution = 0.2 mm and z resolution = 2 mm


Good momentum resolution @ 0.6 T (for kinematical rejection of the background for CP events)


Relative momentum resolution = 0.5%


Transparency to reduce regeneration, multiple scattering and conversion of low energy photons


Light mechanical structure: C-fiber composite
Light drift medium: 90%He-10%iC4H10
80 µm Al(Ag) field wires, 25 µm W(Au) sense wires
