Run C (Z/A tex2html_wrap_inline3785 )

Run C, with the magnetic field set to +1.5T, is designed to be a high sensitivity search for strangelets with Z/A in the range .1 to .3 and to measure the yields of positive nuclei with tex2html_wrap_inline3865 . This run also will be sensitive to the tex2html_wrap_inline3867 composite. Table gif summarizes the systems studied in Run C.

Adding the late energy requirement to the trigger will allow us to run at the full beam rate with a 20% target. If the trigger rate is as high as 4000 per beam spill this will give a 20% deadtime. From Table gif the tracking efficiency times acceptance for strangelets is about 10%. For a 1200 hour run this will give a sensitivity of one event per:

displaymath3869

displaymath3871

displaymath3873

displaymath3875

This gives a 90% confidence level of tex2html_wrap_inline3877 of all interactions.
