Description
We describe a completely new way to reconstruct and identify muons with high
efficiency and very high pion rejection in the 4th Concept detector. The air-volume
dual-solenoid magnetic field allows the reconstruction and precision momentum
measurement down to a few GeV (just the energy loss in the 10-interaction-length
calorimeter and the coil) and the dual-readout calorimeter provides a new, unique and
powerful separation of muons from pions. We use test beam data for the calorimeter
and calculations for the magnetic fields.
Summary
New methods for muon reconstruction and identification in a colliding beam experiment
are described.
