ITEP, April 28, 2010.
Outlook:
Muon system in PandaRoot
MC: DY (-,+) registration efficiency by muon system as
function of polar angle of DY effective photon:
-- muon detectors only: with/without magnetic field
-- full PANDA setup(material): with/without magnetic field
-- how to improve acceptance
MC: J/ (-,+) registration efficiency by muon system as
function of polar angle of J/

2. PANDA setup in PandaRoot
Muon system in PANDA
TS/barrel: 12 layers of MDT inside the
yoke + “zero” bi-layer.
TS/endcap: 5 layers
MuonFilter: 4 x (60mm/Fe + MDT)
FS: “zero” bi-layer+16 x(60mm/Fe +MDT)

3. DY (- , +) registration efficiency by muon system:
selection criterion for (- , +) rejection: No hit (muon system) at least for
one muon from pair.
The point of study: the “cross”-like hole in Target Spectrometer.
The fraction of muons from the DY pairs (one or both) are passing through the hole (Endcap+MuonFilter) without giving the hits in MDT’s.  The efficiency registration by Forward muon system.
If we loose (no hits in muon system) at least one muon from the (- , +)  an event is rejected.
The task: MC based registration efficiency estimation for such type events.
MC: full setup calculation. The only muon system is shown.
For demonstation: 80 (- , +) in one event; only - are visible

4. Geometrical acceptance of muon system in case of:
muon detectors only (without Solenoid and Yoke).
Pythia as event generator (40K DY events) + PandaRoot.
Option: with/without magnetic field in Solenoid/Dipole.
PANDA muon system.
For demonstration the geometrical acceptance of muon system, the simulated 50 DY events are presented on the same figure.

5. Geometrical acceptance study of muon system in case of:

Polar angle distribution of DY photons.

6. Current design:
Endcap: 3 Layers with small hole + 2
Layers with holes for DC
MF: Layers with holes for DC

Finally: ~12% losses of DY events
with selection criterion: no hits in muon system for at least one muon from DY (-,+).
The relative loses for DY events in muon system
65%
Forward region 5%
“beam pipe”
30%

9. Geometrical acceptance study of muon system in case of:

Polar angle distribution of J/.

10. Conclusion:
The MC (PandaRoot) study of DY(-,+) and J/ (-,+) registration efficiency by muon system was started
In current muon system design:
a) the acceptance for DY pairs may be increased to ~ 88% by introducing
minor changes in MDT layers design in Endcap  this is a point for further
studies/discussions
b) the acceptance for J/ looks better and less sensitive to magnetic field as
compared to DY
3) In order to get more detailed results, we need the higher statistical samples (at least 1M events for each process  DY, J/ and D-mesons)
