3. Step 1 High momentum parallel beam without magnetic field High momentum parallel beam without magnetic field Check light yield Check light yield 3HF dependence 3HF dependence 2500 ppm / 5000 ppm on the 4 th station 2500 ppm / 5000 ppm on the 4 th station Angle dependence Angle dependence Dead channel (efficiency) Dead channel (efficiency) Cross talk between fibers / views Cross talk between fibers / views Position alignment Position alignment Station alignment Station alignment fiber alignment on station fiber alignment on station High speed DAQ ~1kHz is necessary High speed DAQ ~1kHz is necessary

4. Step 2 With solenoid magnetic field With solenoid magnetic field Study tracking performance Study tracking performance Defocused beam in  30cm Defocused beam in  30cm Low momentum beam 0.2 – 0.6 GeV/c Low momentum beam 0.2 – 0.6 GeV/c Select muons by TOF/ACC Select muons by TOF/ACC Measure muon momentum by TOF Measure muon momentum by TOF  T1 =50ps,  hodoscope =60ps   TOF =66ps  T1 =50ps,  hodoscope =60ps   TOF =66ps 300 MeV/c  dp/p = 1.7% 300 MeV/c  dp/p = 1.7% 400 MeV/c  dp/p = 2.8% 400 MeV/c  dp/p = 2.8% Difficulties Difficulties decay in flight decay in flight path length on spiral track in magnetic field path length on spiral track in magnetic field energy loss energy loss
