Summary of the HKS and Enge detector packages

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 one pair of drift chambers, three planes of time-of-flight counters, two planes of water Cerenkov counters, and three planes of aerogel Cerenkov counters. The geometry of these detectors and some of their general parameters are summarized in table 15.

The Enge detector package is designed to achieve ($\delta p/p$) = 4 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ (FWHM) and it consists of a drift chamber for tracking and two planes of hodoscope arrays for TOF measurement. Table 16 summarizes the size of each detectors.
