The HKS detector package is designed to identify Ks from
p,
, e
backgrounds and
to measure their momentum with a resolution of 2
.
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 () = 4
10
(FWHM) and
it consists of a drift chamber for tracking and two planes of hodoscope arrays
for TOF measurement.
