General

As discussed in the section on the trigger, we plan to use two different running modes. One mode, using only a centrality trigger and lower beam rates and/or a thinner target, will acquire data on the more abundant low mass systems. These runs can be done with a target as thin as 4% and beam rates of order tex2html_wrap_inline1941 per spill or less. The other mode, using the centrality trigger, a late energy requirement from the calorimeter, a 20% target and the full beam rate of tex2html_wrap_inline3777 per spill, will be used for high sensitivity searches for high mass systems. In the sections below we will describe the four main runs planned (one of each trigger type with positive and negative magnetic field settings) and draw together the rates, acceptance and efficiencies discussed in other sections to calculate the sensitivities which can be achieved in each running mode.

The four runs are:

In the sections below we tabulate the systems to be studied in each of these runs. We note that the acceptance of the apparatus is large enough to be sensitive to neutrals in all the proposed runs. Since the metrology and backgrounds are very different for neutrals, the rates and sensitivities will be discussed separately.
