Introduction Only emulsion detector achieved identification of interaction by detection. + magnet: to distinguish anti-neutrino( ) interaction + New technique → emulsion : large-scale production by automatic coating data taking : high speed automated track selector ECC(Emulsion Cloud Chamber) : multilayer detector of emulsion and metal plate(lead etc.) Emulsion detector(ECC) can identify neutrino/anti-neutrino interaction.
Motivation ECC （ multilayer of emulsion and lead plate ） ＋ magnetic field this detector has large amount of material ★ bending of magnet must be dominated scattering. ★ short flight length before electromagnetic shower Compact emulsion spectrometer less amount of substance Can this detector be charge identification after production charged lepton immediately? If that can be, how thickness do we need ? Such a detector should become important in future neutrino experiments.

Relation between sagitta and momentum(1/p) preliminary Horizontal axis is inverse of ± momentum. and vertical axis sagitta for each inverse momentum. I’m preparing a paper. Momentum resolution is about 14% on average, mostly due to a multiple scattering.
● Slim spectrometer : 3-layer low density structure, 30mm thick, with permanent magnet of 1 Tesla. ● Slim spectrometer was exposed to 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0GeV/c ± at KEK-PS T1 line. The average of momentum resolution was found to be about 14%, mostly due to multiple scattering. conclusions
Outlook The relative error (that is, ) is expected to be : pp p pp p ss s + ～ p [GeV/c] In the case of p = 10GeV/c, ～ pp p Therefore, probability of the charge mis-identification for a lepton with p = 10GeV/c would be around 0.2%.
