  • NEWS ABOUT SHMS DESIGN

    Single arm SHMS Monte Carlo has be updated

    Note that for simulations for upcoming 12 GeV PACs, one should assume the "standard" 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm cryotargets will be available. Please note that the total beam current available for Hall C and Hall A together will be 85 micro-amps (11 GeV equivalent).

  • Pictured is the Hall C detector for the High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS). Contained in a concrete shield house, this detector is used for particle identification after the beam hits the target and the scattered particles are focused onto this detector . The detector contains several instruments that measure different elements of the particles including: drift chambers, hodoscopes, and gas and lead-glass Cerenkov detectors.
