Mu2e Mu2e Backgrounds and Computing Robert Bernstein 5 March 2015 Mu2e-docdb 5223

Mu2e Introduction/Outline Structure of Talk 1.Physics View (what Mu2e needs to understand) a.Definitions of Terms b.Physics Explanations 2.Computing View (how we use computing to understand) a.Classify Physics by required computing methods and required resources This is an overview talk – details filled in later R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview25 March 2015

Mu2e Physics View: Definition of Terms Backgrounds are more than just “backgrounds” and here is how we split things that we need computing to understand: 1.Background: a physics process than can produce a fake signal 2.Accidental: activity in the detector not part of a reconstructable track or other interesting physics process but can confuse pattern recognition or worsen resolution 3.Aging: degradation of detector from radiation damage or other source R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview35 March 2015

Mu2e These are not mutually exclusive A physics process (background) can also produce accidentals Muon decay electrons can produce delta rays Accidentals can produce resolution smearing that creates background Muon capture ejects particles that confuse tracking Accidentals can also produce aging of detector elements Radiation damage to calorimeter R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview45 March 2015

Mu2e Backgrounds Muon Decay in Orbit (DIO) –Muons stop in our Al stopping target; 40% decay by –The free Michel muon decay spectrum is modified because this decay occurs from a muonic 1s state If the neutrinos have zero 4-momentum (ignore neutrino mass) the electron is precisely at the conversion energy, but this has zero phase space Therefore resolution effects are everything and we have to understand them –The background size from DIO about 0.2 events and is the single largest background in current estimates R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview55 March 2015

Mu2e Decay In Orbit Overview Free muons decay according to Michel Spectrum: R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview65 March 2015 arXiv: v2

Mu2e Must understand a. resolutions for signal and background b. width of signal peak Decay-In-Orbit Detail 75 March 2015R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview DIO Spectrum must be put in by hand, as with other processes needed by Mu2e

Mu2e Need grid time and G4 support for nuclear physics processes: “out-of the-box G4” isn’t enough “black” = already done in G4, basically particle transport and bookkeeping “purple” = new, we’ve done” (actually Kevin Lynch at CUNY) “blue” = not done yet This doesn’t exist in G4 and we have to write it, then we hope they incorporate it Mu2e doc-db 815 Muon Capture: Sample Case Not in G4 85 March 2015R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview

Mu2e Background: Radiative Pion Capture Pions produced upstream of the stopping target that have not decayed can be captured in the stopping target and produce signal events Sometimes that electron will be reconstructed and fake a signal Must understand –time distribution of pions to find number in measurement period Tied to Accelerator Division simulations and CD modeling tools, e.g. Synergia, MAD, ORBIT, ESME –Not in any G4 physics list, we put this in by hand –And be able to vary both within uncertainties R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview95 March 2015

Mu2e Background: Antiprotons Antiprotons produced in original 8 GeV collision can produce radiative pion capture by making pions –Annihilate in stopping target and make pions, which then undergo radiative pion capture So we have a thin window “far away” to annihilate antiprotons –But that window makes new pions too, and some of them can then undergo radiative pion capture Cross-section poorly known, G4 physics lists need to be tunable to estimate uncertainties Need grid time with multi-stage analysis –Multi-stage analysis with resampling is a common technique across experiment (see Gaponenko) R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview105 March 2015

Mu2e Background: Cosmic Rays Cosmic Ray Muons Can Hit material inside DS and produce an electron in the signal window –One/day without the cosmic ray veto –Or about 1000 events of background where we want < 1 Modeling this is very hard –Grid time for overall simulation to identify problems and get estimates targeted simulations –Modeling of optical transport in CR Veto system Detailed G4 modeling –Storage –Knowledge of CR flux and ability to swap in generators R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview115 March 2015

Mu2e Background: Other Processes There are a number of other backgrounds from rare, hard-to- calculate occurrences. Two examples: – scattering off collimators producing late-arriving particles that weren’t caught in normal beamline simulations But we can’t do 3.6e20 POT in MC! –Tails of tails of resolution functions Important point is that there are only a few hundred K decay-in- orbits remotely near signal window, and we have found no evidence for anything significant But we can’t do 3.6e20 POT in MC! R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview125 March 2015

Mu2e Accidentals Two types: 1.From muon beam. a. muon decay in stopping target making electrons that just touch inside of detector b.Ejected protons, photons, and neutrons from captured muons Both of these deaden detector elements and age elements from radiation damage. Computing for these is mostly running statistics but some require external measurements, especially ejected protons (see AlCap Exp’t at PSI and Gaponenko W&C 2/6/2015) R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview135 March 2015

Mu2e Time Structure Up to 10 KHz/straw early, first few hundred nsec from beam electrons (“beam flash”) Accidentals and aging issues for the detector This is not an issue for physics background but we need to simulate all of this beam activity to see what falls in time window R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview145 March 2015

Mu2e Accidentals: Beam Flash Simulating muon decays-in-flight (DIF) will take a lot of grid time. There are also other "beam flash" backgrounds: pion DIF and beam electrons. It's easy to re-sample processes that originate in the stopping target, but anything coming down the Transport Solenoid is computationally much harder. Re-sampling is an important tool. Requires multi-stage jobs with much grid time and storage R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview155 March 2015

Mu2e Accidentals: Neutrons Neutrons born in 8 GeV proton collisions on production target Bad in Many Ways: –In The Muon Beamline Heating can drive superconductor in production solenoid normal –Driver of shielding and cooling designs Damage superconductor by displacing atoms (DPA) Need to understand number and spectrum, model damage –Interface to MARS and G4Beamline –MARS and G4 physics aren’t identical, and then geometries are hard to synchronize –Effect of damage on solenoids tied to magnetic field TD models of field: how much damage and is it acceptable? R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview165 March 2015

Mu2e Accidentals: Neutrons Bad in Detector –Detector has to be shielded from neutrons, both made in production and from muon capture Especially Cosmic Ray veto, since they deaden it –Entire Neutron Task Force for design This is largely done but refinements will continue R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview175 March 2015

Mu2e Neutron Computing Problems Compute intensive, need to marry different software suites: –MARS, G4Beamline, G4 Expertise to do this in G4 doesn’t exist in experiment and world experts use MARS (and MCNP, underneath MARS) MARS is in FORTRAN and a black box to us –We are checking in G4 and starting to move that way: use difference between MARS and G4 as flag of problems and estimating systematic –G4Beamline owned by Muons, Inc and they have many priorities. Who will maintain this useful tool? MARS has to be supported for grid running and MARS people are not computing wizards: need support. We should ask ourselves about long- term future of these codes Need MCNP physics in G4 and to support MARS in the meantime R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview185 March 2015

Mu2e Dose Calculations Not really a background, but much overlap in tools and needs Uses MARS Shielding model and MARS code Useful iteration takes ~ 1 week of wall clock time, 2500 nodes R. Bernstein Mu2e Computing Review: Background Overview195 March 2015 V. Pronskikh MARS calc
