MAMUD Magnetized hadronic calorimeter and muon veto for the K +   +  experiment L. DiLella, March 29, 2005 Purpose:  Provide pion – muon separation (muon veto)  Bend the beam away from the small angle photon veto located at the end of the hall

Criteria for the design of the hadronic calorimeter and muon veto  Integration with LKr calorimeter  Distinguish hadronic showers from electromagnetic showers  need longitudinal and lateral segmentation  Sensitivity to minimum ionizing particles (MIP)  Bending power ~  T x m  p T kick  .  GeV/c deflects  GeV/c beam by  mr (  cm lateral displacement at  m) An important background from K +   +   decay: “catastrophic” muon energy losses  muon bremsstrahlung  e + e  pair production  high Q 2  + e  scattering  muon decay in flight  deep inelastic muon – nucleon scattering  + + N   + + hadrons electromagnetic shower In all processes (except muon decay) the outgoing  +  has generally enough residual energy to be detected
