6'x3' tables. This space will be used for computing and general work space. 2.2 BEAM 2.2.1 The tests require a beam of tagged, charged particles (both negative and positive pions and protons) with energy range from lowest possible (-4 GeV) to about 10-20 GeV. Most runs will be performed at lOGeV. 2.2.2 Intensity: Variable, in the range of I-10KHz in an area of 1 square cm. 2.2.3 We will make use of the 4 second slow spill every 2 minutes, coming from the Main Injector. We are modifying our DAQ to take advantage ofthis scenario. 2.2.4 We anticipate some parasitic running during the test beams for other experiments if needed. 2.3 SETUP 2.3.1 At least one full day of access to the experimental area will be needed to set up the straw stand. This includes not only the silicon telescope planes and mechanical apparatus, but also the cable work. 2.3.2 At least one additional day will be needed to install and debug the DAQ and NlM logic associated with the trigger. This would require only sporadic access. 2.3.3 Some cabling to the counting room is needed. We have allowed one day of setup time..- An outline of our cable needs between counting house and MT6-A2 include: 4 o Mini drift chambers (3 condo for power, 6cond. ribbon,) o Vacuum straws (3 condo for power, 6 condo ribbon, 16 RGS8 BNC coax) o Trigger scintillators for voltage, 38 RGS8 BNC coax) o Power, Ethernet, DAQ interconnection cables (in counting house) 2.4 SCHEDULE 2.4.1

2.4.2 We are planning on beginning tests in the Fall of200S. We are requesting a few days of setup time followed by 1-2 week of regular data taking. Each run will consist of a few hours of measurements. Access to the experimental area will be needed only if equipment needs to be serviced and/or aligned. III. RESPONSIBILITIES BY INSTITUTION - NON ([] denotes replacement cost of existing hardware.)

Department as part of the Operational Readiness Clearance process. The integrated effect of running this and other SY120 beams will not reduce the antiproton stacking rate or MINOS extraction by more than S% globally, with the details of scheduling to be worked out between the experimenters and the Office of Program 4.2 Particle Physics Division 4.2.1 The test-beam efforts in this MOU will make use of the Meson Test Beam Facility. Requirements for the beam and user facilities are given in Section 2. 4.2.2 The PPD will be responsible for coordinating overall activities in the MTest beamline, including the use of the user beamline controls, readout of the beamline detectors and the MTest gateway computer. (0.5 person-weeks) 4.2.3 Cooling water (or a chiller) and dry nitrogen (for electronics) should be provided. 4.2.4 Adequate lighting for the MT6-B2 area is requested 4.2.5 The existing CKM straws prototype setup including the straws, associated electronics, gas system and readout will be provided. 4.2.6 Gas (ArfC02-80120) will be provided for the mini drift chambers. ($100) 4.3 Computing Division 4.3.1 Ethernet and printers should be available in the counting house. 4.3.2 Connection to beams control console and remote logging (ACNET) should be made available in the counting house. 4.3.3 See Appendix nfor a summary of PREP equipment pool needs. 4.4 ES&H Section 4.4.1 Assistance with safety reviews
