Example of type A

Example (Cont) Thin Fe : down to 2 mm. Doable (J. Nelson). Assume d = 4 mm (  X 0 /4) Strips: 3 cm x 1cm x 300 cm Target mass: 3.0 ton ( 1.5 m dia x 2 m) Toroid: D = 3 m  256 planes, 100 strips => 96 trips => strips  384 M64s  Fe 200 kg/plane =>  50 ton total

S1 S2 S3 S4 2.0 m m 6.4 m Planes Example (Cont)

Section Target(ton) Magnet(tons)Weight/plane (Kg) S S S S Total Grand Total: 44 tons

Example (Cont) Energy Resolution for showers:  E/E  0.2  (t/E) (from MINOS CalDet  E/E  0.23/  (E)) Here t = 0.4/1.76 ===>>  E/E  10%/  (E) Spatial Resolution/plane  x  1 cm (  3/  12) B = 15 KG => 57 cm path in Fe to tell the sign of charge ( m  3 c )

Next Steps Model in GEANT Generate neutrino events, study characteristics of QE, SP,  0 production, DIS Event Display could be very instructive. Study spatial resolution. Study virtues of this magnetic detector vs no field Get a realistic conceptual design Get costs
