Minutes

  • Upstream magnet hot-spots, Ciprian:
    • positrons from the acceptance channel slam into the coils is the dominant source. The track trajectory hit them on the side of the coil surface. e+ sources are the target (high energy), col-1 and 2 (low energy)
    • the energy deposit in G4 plot showing rad length needs better understanding. Do a back of the envelope calculation and first-principle calculation to check these results.
    • The plan is to shield the coils on the side using 2mm tungsten plates. The hot spot rad load goes down from 320 Gy to 37 Gy
    • is there an alternative to epoxy impregnated copper, Jim F.
    • dE/dx in W-Cu is about 3 MeV/mm for beta~1 particles so I think you are seeing the full stopping of the low energy positrons in 2 mm. As they slow the beta will drop and the dE/dx will increase so seeing this up to ~10 MeV for 2 mm makes sense. Jim F.
    • due to the grazing angles the 2mm of W is effectively much longer Ciprian
    • yes - so you will deposit up to a few 10's of MeV just by dE/dx energy loss, then the positron will annihilate on an electron. The gammas may escape so another 1 MeV goes into those photons. Jim F.
    • It is interesting that you are degrading the 100 MeV e+ so effectively. This must be that they are making EM showers and the secondaries are getting absorbed pretty efficiently. Jim F.
    • make sure to get CW90 or CW95 with no iron or any other impurities to prevent magnetic issues
  • Light guide light generation, Cameron:
    • G4 optical physics update where Cameron is using Remoll to reproduce the Qsim
    • compared the NIM paper results with Qsim running again so we know Qsim is reproducible.
    • The reflectivity plots shows differences between Remoll and Qsim. Extra bounces allowed in remoll could explain this. Cameron will look into this further.
    • Will generate lookup table to get PE count for angle vs position that can be used in the main simulation
    • Cameron will make these into a new branch in remoll. The scripts will be in the Analysis directory.
  • Beam Generator update (vertex cut and track id) - Garrett Leverick
    • hit.mtrid==0 should apply to all primaries, including both mollers but track id is not associated with Beam generator since particle generator is associated only with event generators.
    • the "second" moller electron will have mtrid == 1
    • so in principle you can have trid == 1 (to get half of your mollers) and then select the target pid for the second moller: Cip.
    • for the rest of the processes (like ep elastic) trid == 1 should be sufficient .. i think
    • correct. for the beam, it's safer to use the vertex cut to get the rate relatively right at least for the default magnetic field scale. : Sakib
  • Geometry update: Sakib, what to merge to develop
    • epoxy update to coil
    • merged col
    • two bounce shield
    • changes to Col-1
    • we will discuss this next week. Ciprian prefers these to be on the development branch.
