[smclayto: pions in the beam?]

[Steven Clayton <smclayto@npl.uiuc.edu>]

Correction: the decay muon would have ~60 MeV/c
momentum, and we wouldn't see it in the TPC without
higher voltage.

Dear Peter,

is it possible to have pion contamination in our
beam at the target position?  Because if there
were any, they could look like the tracks I showed
you the other day: incoming track (pion), with a
transverse track (muon).  Then that muon would
tend to have the energy to escape the fiducial
volume and decay on a wall.  Just a thought, and
maybe a naive one.

Steven
