Below we will discuss the various Monte Carlo simulations used to evaluate the efficiency and sensitivity of this experiment. Since one goal of the Monte Carlo effort is to provide a realistic simulation of the response of the various detectors, the output of the Monte Carlo also provides a basis for developing analysis techniques. We discuss our experience in analyzing the Monte Carlo data and results of calculations of other possible backgrounds.
As mentioned earlier, for charged particles the charge +1 systems are the most
challenging in terms of achieving the desired sensitivity, hence the discussions of
charged particle background below will focus on these states. For neutral particles,
the low mass states are most challenging due to background from neutrons. The
discussion of the results of calculations and analysis for backgrounds to neutral
states will focus on detecting the H 
-dibaryon.
