Simulated Geometry Thickness of fast scint. = 2.63cm (D = 2.23cm) W (thickness of slow scint.) = 0.2cm L1 (slow scint. length) = 60cm L2 (fast scint. length) = 20cm Thickness of Sn collimator = 0.01cm Thickness of btm BGO = 2.68cm Length of btm BGO = 3cm (not tapered in simulator for simplicity) Gap between BGOs = 0.5cm (including BaSo4 eflector) Thickness of side Anti BGO = 3cm Length of side Anti BGO = 60cm # of units = 217 (geometrical area of fast scint. not covered by slow scint. = 934.4 cm2) PoGO_G4_2004-06-01.ppt
Simulation Condition The same Crab spectrum as that used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation was simulated here. That is, E-2.1 spectrum with 100mCrab intensity, 20-200keV (300.8 c/s/m2) 100% polarized, 6h exposure Attenuation by air of 4g/cm2 (atmospheric depth in zenith direction is ~3g/cm2 and that in line-of-sight direction is 4g/cm2) Atmospheric downward/upward gamma spectra for GLAST BFEM simulation were used as background. Use Geant4 ver5.1. Serious bug in polarized Compton scattering was fixed by user. We also implemented polarized Rayleigh scattering. Fluorescence X-ray are not taken into account in BG simulation.

Detector Resopnses The same detector responses as those used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation If there is a hit in slow/anti/btm scintillators, event is rejected. (Threshold is 30 keV). Energy smearing and poisson fluctuation are not taken into account yet for veto scintillators. Assumed detector resposes: 0.5 photo-electron/keV fluctuated by poisson distribution smeared by gaussian of sigma=0.5 keV (PMT energy resolution) minimum hit threshold after three steps above is 3 keV PoGO_G4_2004-06-01.ppt
Event Analysis The same as those of Hiro’s EGS4 Simulation Use events in which two or three fast scintillators detected a hit. The largest energy deposit is considered to be photo absorption The second largest energy deposit is considered to be Compton scattering. Smallest energy deposit (in case of three scintillators with hit) is ignored. Smear azimuth angle distribution with Hiro’s resolution function. No event selection on compton kinematics PoGO_G4_2004-06-01.ppt
