A magnetic multipurpose spectrometer

The very high quality and precision of the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) beam will allow the investigation of hypernuclear systems with high accuracy and resolution provided the appropriate experimental equipment is implemented. A possible design of a 1.3 GeV/c, high-resolution, short-orbit kaon spectrometer, to be used in combination with one of the two 4 GeV/c CEBAF Hall A spectrometers, is presented. The facility is a multipurpose one, serving also as a second hadron arm with the capability of going out of the scattering plane and also serving as an electron spectrometer for large scattering angles. Attention is given to the optics design, the momentum resolution, the beam envelopes, the geometric acceptance, and the small angle and out-of-plane capabilities.<
