A Segmented Aerogel Cherenkov Detector for the HKS Spectrometer

ORAL

Abstract

A new hypernuclear spectrometer system has been built by the E01-011 collaboration at Jefferson Lab. This spectrometer system employs a segmented aerogel Cherenkov detector for pion suppression in the trigger. The talk will present the design and performance results from the first data taking run in Summer 2005.
