Studies for a silicon detector in a e/A collider Benedetto Di Ruzza BNL EIC Task Force meeting August 28 th 2014
Momentum resolution studies for a silicon detector in a eRHIC collider using the EICRoot framework. Some consideration on bremsstrahlung for electron in silicon. The ITS Alice upgrade. outline 2
Momentum resolution studies performed using a simple detector model in the EICRoot framework Momentum resolution studies 3
Detector model: barrel Momentum resolution studies Electron energies: 5, 15 and 20 GeV Eta : 0, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 Forward and Rear: 4
In each configuration performed the simulation of 2000 events. Momentum resolution studies 5
Crystal ball function “like” used in the fit fit: Momentum resolution studies 6
Crystal ball function like function used in the fit: Momentum resolution studies 7 P0= alpha, P1= n; P2= mean, P3= sigma, P4=N
Ratio tail/all events Momentum resolution studies 8
Repeat the fit with a crystal ball function change particles and detector design Still to do: 9
