It consists of 128 channels of 2.7GSa/s @ 12bits per sample Wilkinson ADC readout (via 16 waveform sampling ASICs), controlled by FPGAs with data streaming out over a 2.544Gbit/s LC-LC duplex fiber optic link. An array of 16-anode micro-channel plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) will be mounted to detect single photoelectrons, creating an image plane with a resolution of 64*16 pixels. Four of these modules will be mated to a highly polished quartz bar and expansion volume. The system will be able to discern the difference between high momentum kaons
