2. Mar 31, 2005Steve Kahn -- Ckov and Tof Detector Simulation 2 Improvements to G4Mice Relevant to the Cherenkov Detectors Ckov1: –Implement the new Mississippi geometry. –Corrections to better handle the threshold effect for PE generation. Ckov2: –Better model the materials used in Ckov2. Previous version had too much material in the beam windows. We now take into account the reduced material due to the honeycomb geometry. –Updated Ckov2 dimensions.

4. Mar 31, 2005Steve Kahn -- Ckov and Tof Detector Simulation 4 Event Samples for Ckov1 Study Samples with 50%  and 50%  are generated. –Events are generated just before Tof0 (-15750 mm) with  x =  y =50 mm  x’ =  y’ =25 mr –Samples were run with the following momenta. 180, 200, 220, 240, 260 MeV/c. –Current G4Mice problem generates contamination with constant KE, where it should be constant momentum since they survive the final dipole bend. Consequently muon and pion samples must be run separately.

5. Mar 31, 2005Steve Kahn -- Ckov and Tof Detector Simulation 5 Cherenkov Systems Upstream Ckov –C 6 F 14 radiator with n=1.25 –4 PMTs 2 on top, 2 on bottom. –Threshold cherenkov: 0.7 MeV for electrons 140 MeV for muons 190 MeV for pions Downstream Ckov –Aerogel with n=1.03 –12 PMTs on 12-sided polygon. –Typically on electrons visible since pion threshold is > 500 MeV. –Requires TOF coincidence.

7. Mar 31, 2005Steve Kahn -- Ckov and Tof Detector Simulation 7 Ckov1 PEs generated: 181 MeV/c No Pion plot since pions are below threshold for 181 MeV/c Units on the abscissa are arbitrary at this point. –They are valid for comparison from plot to plot. –I believe that they are high by a factor of 5.

12. Mar 31, 2005Steve Kahn -- Ckov and Tof Detector Simulation 12 Photon Generation in the Cherenkov Detectors For each track that crosses the radiator with a velocity above threshold a number of photons are generated proportional to the deposited energy. We currently do not use the Cherenkov photon facility in Geant4. –There is some question as to how well it works with reflective surfaces. Imaginary photons are generated in a cone (at the č angle) around the particle direction. Since all mirrors are at 45º w.r.t. the beam direction, we can position the PMTs on an imaginary plane. –The č photons that intercept the PMT circles are “seen”. –Note that Ckov1 has an angle of 53°. The circles should be ellipses. This has not yet been taken into account Note that in Ckov 1 we are dealing with only 4 PMTS.
