Hall C 12GeV Upgrade
Recent changes to SHMS design
Momentum acceptance changed -10% to +22%, and the lab scattering angle increased to 40°.
Current SHMS studies and R&D
To date, the 12 GeV PAC has met twice and fully approved 5 experiments for Hall C. Experiment proposals submitted to PAC30 (2006) and the proposals submitted to PAC32 (2007)
