1.) alter power law fit plot so data has error bars and symbols, fit has thick solid black line.  Legend describes symbols.  Rebin plot in 1 keV wide energy bins
 +
 +
2.) work on the three sections shown in the paper part of the wiki
 +
 +
3.) do a simulation with power law alpha = 10.5, increase alpha again until drop off in simulation is like drop off in data
 +
 +
4.) save random number seed for a compton event so we can look at one easily
 +
 +
The run manager is deleting itself after specified runs?
 +
 +
5.) insert equations from E_gamma and Lorentz boosts into paper theory section

I showed my plots to Khalid and he said that there is an electron energy spread of <1%. The tail in LCS spectra was due to the deviation of incoming electrons w.r.t laser. He further said that Geant4 is good only for head-on collisions and the Lorentz Boost is different for angular deviations, which Geant4 doesn't cover.
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
Since GEANT4 is open source we can fix problems. 
 +
You know GPS can change the angle and you installed
 +
the Lorentz transformation.  All we need to do is
 +
be sure that you transform correctly.
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
How much energy spread gives you the tail in above X-ray distributions?
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
Let's print out an off axis (non head-on) collision event
 +
from GEANT4 and see if Khalid agrees with the kinematic calculation
 +
 +
Commented by Syed: Thanks for the response Dr. Forest. Let me run simulations,
 +
by changing angles w.r.t some constant number of events, and discuss the results
 +
tomorrow and probably let's have a meeting altogether with Khalid to be on the same page.
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
 +
We should printout and check an event before meeting with Khalid
 +
 +
Do we need to dig into LorentzBoost class or should I start working on X-rays for XRF purposes since we know how experimental LCS X-rays look like, I think the agenda I would like to discuss with you this Friday!
 +
 +
We checked the boost and found 1 problem already. 
 +
Lets check the boost for an off axis event.
 +
 +
XRF will only be useful if we get a nuclear model that works.
 +
 +
 +
Enclosed are some of the plots considering the case of 32.5 MeV electrons with 1% energy spread and 532nm laser. Off-axis electrons so far
 +
have no effect. Tracking data files are huge so I will bring my laptop to go over these files.

The tails in the experimental spectra (Quasi-Monochromatic) are due to the "non-uniform charge density distribution" of the electron beam in 44MeV linac regardless of the interaction angle between laser and electrons. Ideally, we would expect monochromatic LCS spectra even if there is no head-on collision between electrons and laser (previous Geant4 simulations) and the interaction angle mainly affects LCS yield. I had discussions with Khalid during LCS runs and he said that the tails in LCS spectra reflect non-uniform charge density distribution of the electrons from 44 MeV linac (which itself requires tremendous tuning each time).
 +
 +
Geant4 is assuming uniform charge density distribution in the incoming electron beam, probably that's why all peaks were reflecting an ideal beam scenario? Also, I think that the energy spread in previous Geant4 simulations (e.g, 26-33 MeV), to reflect experimental tails, represented non-uniform charge density distribution of the beam profile and power law fit approximated the non-uniformity of the electron charge density?

Formulas

Compton [math]E_{gamma}[/math] kinematic

Equation 1 from Reference File:Stepanek NIMA 412 1998pg174.pdf says that the backsattered x-ray energy is given by

[math]E_\gamma = \frac{4\gamma^2E_{laser}}{1 +\gamma^2 \theta^2}[/math]


[math] (E^{max}_\gamma) [/math]@532nm = [math] 4\gamma^2E_{laser}=4\left(\frac{E_e}{m_e}\right)^2E_{laser}= 4\left(\frac{20 MeV}{0.511 MeV}\right)^2 2.326 eV = 14.252 keV[/math]

[math] (E^{max}_\gamma) [/math]@1064nm = [math] 4\gamma^2E_{laser}= 4\left(\frac{20 MeV}{0.511 MeV}\right)^2 1.163 eV = 7.126 keV[/math]


GEANT4 calculation in syed_compton:

Lorentz boost

Notes on Syed's GEANT4 project for Laser Compton Scattering at the IAC

2/7/08

Step 1: Configure Event generator in which electron parameters can be changes. Move the source left and right of the center. Change is momentum direction; going left and going right.

Step 2: comment out electron and add gamma. get it to move in the same way.

Step 3: turn them both on

Step 4: if fail then find references on event Generator with 2 intersecting beams, perhaps ILC, LHC or BaBar has one.

2/14/08

Problem last week was due to editing the wrong file.

We now have a event generator which starts an electron and a photon moving toward eachother.

We see and event when the photon energy is 500 keV and only the compton process is turned on.

FirstComptonEvent 2-14-08.jpg

Next step:

1.) edit the Stepping Verbose so only a Compton event is printed out

2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)

output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.

3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV

4.) Insert new physics process for Low Energy Compton

2/28/08

1.) edit the Stepping Verbose so only a Compton event is printed out (done)

2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)

output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.

3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV

4.) Insert new physics process for Low Energy Compton (done)

Still need to do 2 &3.

Compare hand calculation of an event or two with GEANT4 output

3/6/08

Goals for last week

1.) Compare hand calculation of an event or two with GEANT4 output

2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)

output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.


3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV (BDSIM crashes at this high energy)

Tasks for next week:

1.) How many GEANT4 triggers does it take to get an event when E-gamma = 30 eV

Zero/10^7. However, if I set the E-gamma=300 eV then I see 1819 triggers out of 10 million iterations.

ComptonEvents At 300eV 3-12-08.jpg


2.) remove detector which blocks reactions for 0<Z<200 

   [box]Commented out Sensitive Detector function in DetectorConstruction.cc. I still see the SD in display[/box]

3.) Store tracking info for photon and electron into variables for printing out 

   [box]Show the text file for 300 eV laser and 20 MeV electron[/box]

4.) Compare BDSIM and GEANT4 for E-gamma = 300 or 30 eV 

   [box]BDSIM crashes at 300 eV[/box]

5.) Any measured X-sections for 2 eV Compton? 

   [box]Was not able to find on internet. BDSIM however, uses GEANT4 database...We might need to dig into their code, I got the source code[/box]

Tasks:

1.) fix output file so electons and photon from same event on same line

2.) After SyedCompton runs, change it so the final electron kinetic energy is calculated correctly. 

    Final Electron KE is approx. equals to 20MeV in this case because energy lost by incoming electrons is so small following
    Compton interaction as shown in above plots ...suggestions???

1.) Try HeP Lorentz vector class and set vectors within the SyedCompton routine

CLHEP Man 


HepLorentzVector P4eLab

P4eLab.setPx(HepDouble);


5/1/08

Got the class 

G4LorentzVector* P4eLab;

defined in SyedLowEnergyCompton.hh


Then created the variable 

 P4eLab = new G4LorentzVector;

 P4eLab->setPx(1.4596);

 G4cout << "P4e Px= " << P4eLab << G4endl;

in SyedLowEnergyCompton.cc


1.) Check the functionality of the function calls below to see if we understand how they work 

P4eLab->setPx(1.4596);
cout << "P4e " << P4eLab << endl;

cout << "rest 4 Vector" << P4eLab.rest4Vector() << endl;---->"These functions are not declared!"
cout << "rest 4 Vector" << P4eLab.rest4Vector().beta << endl;---->"These functions are not declared!"

2.) Look up relativistic Lorentz transformation to boost to electron rest frame. A fair start is at

http://www.iac.isu.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Forest_Relativity_Notes#Lorentz_Transformations

3.) check out reference

A.A. Sokolov and I.M. Ternov Sov. Phys. Dokl. 8 (1964), p. 1203.

may lead to a reference for our problem.

4.) Install GEANT4 on Brems 

   *done* but with graphics option was disabled, there are issues with OpenGL on brems and I was not able to compile MesaGL in my local folder

5.) create 2 sets of 24 random number seed files. The first set of 24 random number seed files will run for 2 hours and the second set will run for 24 hours.

1.) using interactive version of LCS test the transformations below

We have proton and electron. In the Lab frame electron is moving along the x-axis with momentum ;[math]\vec{p_e}[/math] and proton is at rest. The 4-vectors are:

Lab Frame
[math]P_e=[/math]([math]E_e[/math],[math]p_e[/math],0,0) and for proton :[math]P_p=[/math]([math]m_p[/math],0,0,0)
CM Frame
:[math]{P_e}^{\prime}=[/math]([math]{E_e}^{\prime}[/math],[math]{p_e}^{\prime}[/math],[math]0[/math],[math]0[/math]) and for proton :[math]{P_p}^{\prime}=[/math]([math]{E_p}^{\prime}[/math],[math]{p_p}^{\prime}[/math],[math]0[/math],[math]0[/math])
Find [math] \beta_{CM} [/math] such that [math]P_{tot}^{CM}=0 =p_e^{\prime} + {p_p}^{\prime}[/math]
[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_e}^{\prime} \\ p_e^{\prime} \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma & -\gamma \beta & 0 & 0 \\ -\gamma \beta & \gamma &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ 0 &0 &0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} E_e \\ p_e \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]


[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_p}^{\prime} \\ p_p^{\prime} \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma & -\gamma \beta & 0 & 0 \\ -\gamma \beta & \gamma &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ 0 &0 &0 &1\end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} m_p \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]

Using the last two equations we will get the following for x component:

[math]{p_e}^{\prime}=-\gamma_{cm}(\beta_{cm} E_e-p_e)[/math]
[math]p_p^{\prime} = - \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} m_p[/math]
[math] \gamma_{cm}(p_e - \beta_{cm} E_e)= \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} m_p [/math]
[math]\beta_{cm} = \frac {p_e}{m_p + E_e}[/math]
Example
[math]p_e = 5.736 Gev \sim E_e[/math] : electron mass is neglibible
[math]m_p = 0.938 GeV[/math] : Mass of a proton
[math]\beta_{cm} = \frac{5.736}{6.674} = 0.859 \lt 1[/math]
[math]\gamma_{cm} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta_{cm}^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - 0.859^2}} = 1.9532[/math]
[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_e}^{\prime} \\ p_{ex}^{\prime} \\ p_{ey}^{\prime} \\ p_{ez}^{\prime} \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma_{cm} & 0 & 0 & -\gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} \\ 0 & 1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ -\gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} &0 &0 &\gamma_{cm}\end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} E_e=4.4915 \\ -0.549 \\ 0.974 \\ 4.3501 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]
Electron
[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_e}^{\prime} \\ p_{ex}^{\prime} \\ p_{ey}^{\prime} \\ p_{ez}^{\prime} \end{matrix} \right )= \left ( \begin{matrix} 4.4915 \gamma_{cm} - 4.3501 \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} \\ -0.549 \\ 0.974 \\ -4.4915 \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} + 4.3501 \gamma_{cm} \end{matrix} \right ) = \left ( \begin{matrix} 1.4742 \\ -0.549 \\ 0.974 \\ 0.96078 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]
In our case 4-vectors for particles are

[math](P_e)_\mu = ( 5.736, 0, 0, 5.736 GeV)[/math]
[math](P_p)_\mu = (m_p, 0, 0, 0)[/math]
[math]({P_e}^{\prime})_\mu = (4.4914861, -0.549, 0.974, 4.3501 )[/math]
[math]({P_{\pi^-}}^{\prime})_\mu = (0.575721, 0.1052, -0.4394, 0.3282)[/math]

Compiling on brems

1.) turned off a GUI and G3toG4 stuff

2.) edited $G4INSTALL/config/binmake.gmk and commmented out the VIS variables and include commands

3.) comment out interactive commands in LCS.cc so only batch mode would run


we are compiled now.

Practice submitting batch jobs via ssh command and the random number seed files.

Submitting batch jobs on brems

Concept: While logged into brems you can submit a job to run on bres 3 by using the ssh command via 

ssh brems3 source run0.script


the script "run0.script"

contains all the command you would type interactively in order to execute the program 

source ~/apps/geant4/geant4.9.1.p02/env.sh
cd /home/naeesyed/geant4/LCS/Laser_Compton_Backscattering/run0

Insert Transformation matrix to take electron beam in Lab frame to the electron in the electron's rest frame.

Find [math]\beta_R[/math]

Lab Frame
[math]P_e{\mu}=[/math]([math]E_e[/math],[math]p_e[/math],0,0) and for proton :[math]P_{\gamma}^{\mu}=[/math]([math]E_{\gamma}[/math],[math]P_{\gamma}[/math],0,0)
Transform from the LAB frame to a reference frame in which the electron is at rest
Find [math] \beta_{CM} [/math] such that [math]P_{tot}^{CM}=0 =p_e^{\prime} + {p_p}^{\prime}[/math]


[math] \beta_R = \frac{v_e}{c} = \frac {P_e}{E_e + m_e} =\frac {20MeV}{20MeV + 0.511MeV} = 0.975 \lt 1[/math]

[math] \gamma_R = \frac {1}\sqrt{1 - \beta_r^2} =\frac {1}\sqrt{1 - 0.975^2} = 4.5[/math]


The relativistic transformation matrix for the four momentum is given by


[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_e}^{\prime} \\ p_e^{\prime} \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma & -\gamma \beta & 0 & 0 \\ -\gamma \beta & \gamma &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ 0 &0 &0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} E_e \\ p_e \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]
[math]\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_g}^{\prime} \\ p_g^{\prime} \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma & -\gamma \beta & 0 & 0 \\ -\gamma \beta & \gamma &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ 0 &0 &0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} E_g \\ p_g \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )[/math]

Insert Transformation matrix to transform outgoing X-ray momentum four vector in the Lab from to the electron at rest frame.


[math]P_e^{\mu} =\left(E_e^R, P_{ex}^R, P_{ey}^R, P_{ez}^R\right) = (2.25MeV, 0, 0, 2.25)[/math] 

 Was the energy of 2.25 MeV just chosen as an example?
 This is the calculated electron energy in C.M. frame.

Write equation for [math]\theta_R[/math]= angle of the outgoing X-ray in the electron rest frame.

[math] \theta_{f,R} = cos^{-1} (\frac {-\gamma_R \beta_R E_e^{lab frame} + \gamma_R P_{e_z}^{lab frame}}{P_{e_z}}) = cos^{-1} (\frac {(-4.5*0.975*20 ) + (4.5*20)}{2.25}) = 0^o[/math]

Questions: Why [math]\theta[/math] and [math]\theta_d[/math] ? 

[math]\theta_d[/math] is the detector's angle with respect to incoming LCS X-rays.

9/26/08

1.) Use B= 0.975 to transform photon to electrons rest frame inside the event generator

for a few events check

[math]E_\gamma[/math] before and after 


// muon momenta in the primary's rest frame
 CLHEP::HepLorentzVector pMu1 ( p0x, p0y, p0z, p00 );
 CLHEP::HepLorentzVector pMu2 ( -p0x, -p0y, -p0z, p00 );

 // muon momenta in the boosted frame
 CLHEP::HepLorentzVector boostedPMu1 = pMu1.boostZ ( beta );
 CLHEP::HepLorentzVector boostedPMu2 = pMu2.boostZ ( beta );



 Declared the following in the event generator:
 
 //declaring G4LorentzVector for both electrons and gammas
 G4double beta = 0.975;
 p4eLab = new G4LorentzVector;
 p4gammaLab = new G4LorentzVector;

 p4gammaBoostedx = new G4LorentzVector;  
 p4gammaBoostedy = new G4LorentzVector;
 p4gammaBoostedz = new G4LorentzVector;

 p4eBoostedx = new G4LorentzVector;
 p4eBoostedy = new G4LorentzVector;
 p4eBoostedz = new G4LorentzVector;



 However, I'm stuck with in getting momentum values in the lab frame for both electrons and gammas...G4ParticleDefinition doesn't
 include "getMomentum"   function and we need momentums in the lab frame that could be passed in the above declared variables?--
 Daq 09:28, 3 October 2008 (MDT)

 Update: "ExN02EventAction" class is getting momentum values of the existing event, I declared above variables in EventAction class.
 // get information on primary particle

     G4PrimaryParticle* primary=evt->GetPrimaryVertex(0)->GetPrimary(0);

     //Added by Syed
     p4eLab(primary->GetMomentum().x(),primary->GetMomentum().y(),primary->GetMomentum().z(), primary->GetEnergy());

     p4eBoostedx = p4eLab.boostX(beta);
     p4eBoostedy = p4eLab.boostY(beta);
     p4eBoostedz = p4eLab.boostZ(beta);
     Now, the question is where to LorentzBoost gammas?

What should gamma energy be after boosting to electron rest frame? 

[math]\beta[/math]=0.9996737585
[math]P\gamma_z[/math]= 2.326 eV
Hand calculated value is [math]E\gamma[/math] = 0.03 eV from [math]E\gamma[/math] =2.236 eV.
Computer simulated value is [math]E\gamma[/math] = 0.0285602 eV from [math]E\gamma[/math] =2.236 eV. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[math]\beta[/math]=0.9996737585

Equation 1 from Reference File:Chouffani JCPDS 2003 46 pg73.pdf says that the backsattered x-ray energy is given by

[math]E_\gamma = \frac{4\gamma^2E_{laser}}{1 +\gamma^2 \theta^2}[/math]


[math] (E^{max}_\gamma) [/math]@532nm = [math] 4\gamma^2E_{laser}=4\left(\frac{E_e}{m_e}\right)^2E_{laser}= 4\left(\frac{20 MeV}{0.511 MeV}\right)^2 2.326 eV = 14.252 keV[/math]

Now compare BDSIM output to GEANT4 output with the boosting based Laser compton scattering physics process.

A 522 nm wavelength photon is

[math]E_\gamma = h \nu = \frac{ c h}{\lambda} [/math]
[math]E_\gamma = \frac{6.2 \times 10^{-34} J sec \times 3 \times 10^8 m/sec}{532 \times 10 ^{-9} m} \frac{ eV } {1.6 \times 10^-{19} J} =[/math]
[math]E_\gamma = 2.18 eV[/math]
Why does GEANT4 and BDSIM give a max compton [math]E_{\gamma}[/math] of 7 keV when using an input photon energy of 2.18 eV instead of 14 keV as predicted by the above formula.  A factor of 2 difference exits!

Now that we have source code for a compton scattering process, lets compare its output to some observables.

1.) Check if the [math]\theta[/math] dependence is shown by the simulation 

   Done; see above plots
[math]E_\gamma = \frac{4\gamma^2E_{laser}}{1 +\gamma^2 \theta^2}[/math]


usefull root command: 

LCS->makeCode();

or 

LCS->MakeClass();


2.) Plot the scattered electron kinetic energy distribution and compare it with predictions from the Klein Nishina formula. 

 E_min is 20 MeV for electrons and the code(DiffEKleinNishina.c) is computing E_max for incoming gammas which in LCS case is much smaller, i.e, 2.326 eV! 
 The code will not go through the for loop. Even following the LorentzBoost, E_min=0.511 MeV for electrons and E_gamma=183 eV, the code 
 will not compute DiffEXSect for electrons so today lets talk about working on DiffEKleinNishina.c?
Geant4 "lowEnCompton" [math]\lambda_{laser}[/math]:266nm (for 532 nm laser), [math]E_e[/math]=20 MeV Geant4 "lowEnCompton" [math]\lambda_{laser}[/math]:532nm (for 1064nm laser), [math]E_e[/math]=20 MeV

3.) Save random number for Comptom event. 

   Done

4.) Write Kelin Nishina cross section formula in your Compton scattering physics process.

1.) E gamma is delta function instead of distribution (conservation of E & P) : Check if outputting correct values from GEANT.

Power-law Distribution graphs (26-33 MeV Electrons):

3/12/09

1.) alter power law fit plot so data has error bars and symbols, fit has thick solid black line. Legend describes symbols. Rebin plot in 1 keV wide energy bins

2.) work on the three sections shown in the paper part of the wiki

3.) do a simulation with power law alpha = 10.5, increase alpha again until drop off in simulation is like drop off in data

4.) save random number seed for a compton event so we can look at one easily

The run manager is deleting itself after specified runs?

5.) insert equations from E_gamma and Lorentz boosts into paper theory section

I showed my plots to Khalid and he said that there is an electron energy spread of <1%. The tail in LCS spectra was due to the deviation of incoming electrons w.r.t laser. He further said that Geant4 is good only for head-on collisions and the Lorentz Boost is different for angular deviations, which Geant4 doesn't cover. 

Since GEANT4 is open source we can fix problems.  
You know GPS can change the angle and you installed 
the Lorentz transformation.  All we need to do is 
be sure that you transform correctly. 

How much energy spread gives you the tail in above X-ray distributions?

Let's print out an off axis (non head-on) collision event 
from GEANT4 and see if Khalid agrees with the kinematic calculation

Commented by Syed: Thanks for the response Dr. Forest. Let me run simulations, 
by changing angles w.r.t some constant number of events, and discuss the results 
tomorrow and probably let's have a meeting altogether with Khalid to be on the same page.



We should printout and check an event before meeting with Khalid

Do we need to dig into LorentzBoost class or should I start working on X-rays for XRF purposes since we know how experimental LCS X-rays look like, I think the agenda I would like to discuss with you this Friday! 

We checked the boost and found 1 problem already.   
Lets check the boost for an off axis event.

XRF will only be useful if we get a nuclear model that works.


Enclosed are some of the plots considering the case of 32.5 MeV electrons with 1% energy spread and 532nm laser. Off-axis electrons so far have no effect. Tracking data files are huge so I will bring my laptop to go over these files.

1.) Plot energy distribution of incident electron beam IN LAB FRAME, make it a power law that drop off from 32.2 MeV to 32.1 MeV . Amplitude at 32.1 is 1/10 of amplitude at 32.2 (just a guess).

then plot it incident electron REST frame.

2.) Overlay GEANT4 scatter plot of [math]E_{\gamma}[/math] -vs- [math]\theta_{\gamma}[/math] with equation Eq. (5) from Reference File:Stepanek NIMA 412 1998pg174.pdf

[math]{{RF} \atop \gamma} P_{\mu}[/math] = incident photon 4-momentum in electron Rest Frame

GEANT4 event gives the scattering electron and compton photon in the electron rest frame as

[math]{{RF} \atop \gamma} P_{\mu}^{\prime}[/math] = scattered photon 4-momentum in electron Rest Frame

[math]{L \atop e^-} P_{\mu}^{\prime}[/math] = scattered electron 4-momentum in Lab Frame=

The tails in the experimental spectra (Quasi-Monochromatic) are due to the "non-uniform charge density distribution" of the electron beam in 44MeV linac regardless of the interaction angle between laser and electrons. Ideally, we would expect monochromatic LCS spectra even if there is no head-on collision between electrons and laser (previous Geant4 simulations) and the interaction angle mainly affects LCS yield. I had discussions with Khalid during LCS runs and he said that the tails in LCS spectra reflect non-uniform charge density distribution of the electrons from 44 MeV linac (which itself requires tremendous tuning each time).

Geant4 is assuming uniform charge density distribution in the incoming electron beam, probably that's why all peaks were reflecting an ideal beam scenario? Also, I think that the energy spread in previous Geant4 simulations (e.g, 26-33 MeV), to reflect experimental tails, represented non-uniform charge density distribution of the beam profile and power law fit approximated the non-uniformity of the electron charge density?
