In fall 2001, we expect to be ready with major parts of the new apparatus including
the clean TPC, see time chart Fig. 26. Therefore, we request for the
months November/December 2001 a beam period of 4 weeks in area
and 2 weeks setup time preceeding this period.
Immediately after the shutdown 2001/2002, in March or April 2002, we may want
to continue testing and commissioning those parts of the apparatus that might
not have worked satisfactorily yet in 2001. We request for this period 2 weeks
of muon beam in area
.
In summer 2002, the complete experimental setup including Sindrum chambers and
the full plastic hodoscope will be ready. We request 2 weeks of
beam in July 2002 for commissioning the full setup.
In fall 2002, we request for a first main production period 2 months of beam
time in area
. This beam time should be sufficient to reach a statistics
of close to 10
events in the global pile up mode for
and
as well
particles, and about twice this statistics for events
analyzed using local pile up rejection.
Depending on the outcome of this production run and its analysis, we will consider
a continuation in 2003, possibly under improved conditions. The reconstruction
of the
beamline planned for 2003 may be of considerable benefit
if the luminosity of the muon beam will be enhanced as predicted.
