Minutes

  • Pion detector studies (Elham)
    • Entire pion donut holding frame changed to vacuum
      • improves pi/e ratio by factor 2
      • still have charged particles reach lucite
      • frame is significant source of background
    • Shorter lucite detector and shifted inwards:
      • improves pi/e ratio marginally but not dramatically
    • TODO
      • Set the lucite lightguide to vacuum: check whether lightguide or PMT is a big part of the source of background in our lucite
      • Look at hit.phi - hit.vphi (= atan2(hit.vx,hit.vy)): does background come from same or different sector?
      • Draw separate sources independently and zoomed in: one plot each for showermax, concrete/lead, lightguide, lucite close-up with shielding, with number of entries shown on each plot
      • Draw direction histogram for lucite hits at top surface: 1d histo of momentum theta, 2d histo of momentum theta and phi, 1d histo of dot product with axis towards PMT
      • Check pi/e ratio at the main detector plane 28, probably only needs 100k events
      • Copy files from /home/elhamm/projects/rrg-jmammei/elhamm/PionDetectorOptimization/simulation/scratch/16-16-AllFrame-Galactic-2cmshiftedLucite-7cm/moller.root to volatile
