Tracker Entry

Tracker Exit

a) Minimal material in the TRD and TOF So that the detector does not become a source of e+.

b) A magnet separates TRD and ECAL so that e+ produced in TRD will be swept away and not enter ECAL In this way the rejection power of TRD and ECAL are independent

c) Matching momentum of 9 tracker planes with ECAL energy measurements
