Result of previous experiment E471 for Indication of strange trybaryon S+ (T=0) More statistics with better resolution is required to confirm the peak structure.

S/N Improvement Previous result (E471) Present preliminary result (E549) 3 MeVee Improvement 5 MeVee 10 MeVee Even 5MeVee threshold, S/N ratio is about 10:1
NC time calibration and resolution Previous result (E471) The resolution variation on ADC energy range (10 MeVee threshold) Present E549 result (very preliminary) MeVee σ~0.040 Now the resolution is comparable with E471 result. But, TOF analysis is still progressing. So, the resolution will be more improved. 10 MeVee threshold
Check of neutron TOF analysis using Σ decay We can say neutron momentum scale is reasonable. Monochromatic neutron source from is expected in the stopped K- reaction at 185 MeV/c 3MeVee threshold & 1 charged hit on TC & 1 charged hit on the opposite NC arm ~185MeV/c
Particle identification by TC Previous TC setup (E471) Present TC setup (E549) TC_D layer TC_C layer TC_thick layer Upgrade TC_B layer TC_A layer TC_thin layer dE/dx of TC_A (MeVee/cm) (MeVee)
Semi-inclusive neutron momentum distribution Accidental neutron Previous result (E471) 1/beta NC ADC (MeVee) threshold Blue : Accidental neutron Red : After rejecting accidental neutron With 10 MeVee threshold Very preliminary Only about 5% of E549 data was used
summary • Neutron S/N ratio is much improved. • Now, 1/beta resolution is comparable with previous E471 result. • Neutron statistics is much increased. • Analysis is in progress.
