Description
P326 aims at measuring the very rare decay K+→π+νν-bar at the CERN SPS. The Gigatracker should track every particle of the 75GeV/c hadron beam at a rate of about 1GHz with time resolution in the 100ps range and good momentum and angle resolution. The calculated fluence in 100 days of data taking is comparable to the one expected in the inner layers of the silicon trackers in LHC experiments during 10 years of operation. The physics requirements on the Gigatracker performance are overviewed and the preliminary design concept is outlined
