New page

Updated October 6, 2009

Triggered 1,000,000 elastic and inelastic primary events in Geant3 for different BFIL's. The Cerenkov bar for each case was located with a radial coverage X=319-337 cm, and the nominal BFIL factor is 1.04. The geometry version used was v2.11a.

Quick side note: even when generating "primary" events in the simulation, there are some events that minimally interact with the shileding wall aperture and lose energy. They "come from the target" but I do not consider them pure primary events. Therefore, I place a cut on the energy_in at the detector to eliminate these events. To determine this cut, I look at a plot of en_in and en_in versus en_o, which makes it clear what events interacted with a wall. The cut must be at least en_in>200. Typically, the cut is made higher, but this does not have a large impact on the results (at least within the uncertainty based on the statistcs). For the following cases, an energy cut of en_in>600 was used.

Here are some tables with the output from the simulation and calculated f, A_ep, A_pi, dA_pi/A_pi_stat (assuming 3.5 beam days, P = 0.85). The rates listed are for one octant. The average Q^2 of the inelastic events is ~0.022-0.025 GeV^2 (see example distribution for a 25% decrease in BFIL):

The equations used and an example calculation using the 17% BFIL decrease values can be found here: link.
