HKS detector package

The HKS detector package is designed to identify K$^+$s from p, $\pi^+$, e$^+$ backgrounds and to measure their momentum with a resolution of 2 $\times 10^{-4}$. In order to realize the requirements, the HKS detector package consists of drift chambers, time-of-flight walls, aerogel Cerenkov counters, and water Cerenkov counters. Table 11 summarizes the HKS detector package and their parameters.
