Standard Model : A great story … but definitely not the whole story…
• Cosmological issues: inflation, dark matter, dark energy, matter anti-matter asymmetry…
• Theoretical issues: gravity, neutrino mass, flavor problem, hierarchy problem, divergences .…

• Large solid angle (x10)Large solid angle (x10)– More statistics – Lower energy dependent acceptance difference– Detect shower leakage (CsI) for low energy tail – measurement (biggest systematics)
• Silicon Strips & WC TrackingSilicon Strips & WC Tracking– Much improved tracking– Detect Decay-In-Flight for tail correction
• High resolution calorimeterHigh resolution calorimeter– BINA resolution 2 times better than TINA
• Use of 500 MHz fast digitizersUse of 500 MHz fast digitizers– Good separation between ->eν and ->µ->e
