Run D (Z/A tex2html_wrap_inline3787 )

Run D is designed to measure the yields of antinuclei produced in these collisions and to search for negative strangelets. The magnet will be set to -0.75 T so as to have a good acceptance for the tex2html_wrap_inline3893 , tex2html_wrap_inline3895 , tex2html_wrap_inline3897 systems. This run is also sensitive to tex2html_wrap_inline3867 composite.

Since the range of Z/A we wish to cover in this run is larger than for the positive strangelet runs ( from 0.1 to 0.67 for this run), the acceptance for some species is less. As seen in Table gif the acceptance times efficiency for tex2html_wrap_inline3897 drops to 3.4%. For negative strangelets the acceptance remains comparable to that for positive strangelets. We note however that the total flux of particles through the apparatus is less in the negative running so that we believe we can increase the interaction rate by up to a factor of three. This would give a sensitivity for the negative strangelet search of tex2html_wrap_inline3903 of all interactions and for antinuclei of tex2html_wrap_inline3905 of all interactions (90% confidence level).
