The basic specification of the HKS spectrometer was already
given in table 1.
The HKS consists of two quadrupole magnets (Q1 and Q2) and one dipole magnet (D).
Due to two degrees of freedom of the quadrupole doublet, the horizontal and vertical
focusing can be adjusted simultaneously.
The HKS is designed to achieve both 2 10
momentum resolution
and 16 msr solid angle acceptance at the same time when it is used with the Splitter.
The HKS is positioned at an angle of 7
, covering from 0 to 14 degrees, with respect to 1.2 GeV/
zero degrees scattered
particle to avoid scattered positively charged particles at 0 degrees, mostly positrons.
The momentum acceptance was designed to be
12.5%,
matching to that of the electron arm, as shown in figure 7.
