Tracking system Description

The Qweak tracking system is composed of three tracking regions. Region 1 is a GEM based ionization chamber which measures the radial distance of a hit from the beam pipe center and is located 132 cm away from a 35 cm long target. Region 2 is a drift chamber with 6 layers located XXX m from target center. A Torous magnet is place centered 2 meters from the target which selects elasticly scattered electrons that pass through a primary collimator just before the magnet. Region 2 is another drift chamber located just in front of the quartz cherenkov detectors. A scintillator appears after the quartz cherenkov detector which is used to trigger the tracking system.


The target is located at Z=-660 cm and has a length of 35 cm. R1 is located at Z=-528 cm, or at most 132 cm from the center of the 35 cm long target.

Q2 for Elastic Scattering

General Expression for Q2 Elastic scattering error

<δQ>2=(QE)2(δE)2+(Qθ)2(δθ)2+(QθE)2(δθδE)
= 16E2iM2psin2(θ/2)(Ei+MpEicos(θ/2))6×[A(δE)2+B(δθ)2+C(δEδθ)2]

Where

A=(4M4psin2(θ/2)+24EiM3psin4(θ/2)+52E2iM2psin6(θ/2)+48E3iMpsin8(θ/2)+16E4isin10(θ/2))
B={E2iM4p+4E4iM2psin4(θ/2)}cos2(θ/2)+E3iM3psin2(θ/2)
C=4M2pcos2(θ/2)

Error using only R1

This simple calculation assumes that only the electron distance from the beamline measured 0.5 m from the target center by the GEM detector will be used to calculate θ.

tan(θ)=rsin(θ)rcos(θ)=dZ

assuming the error isδd=100μm and δZ=35cm = length of the target

δtan(θ)tan(θ)=(δdd)2+(δZZ)2

If Z = 132 cm and d = 15 cm

then

δtan(θ)tanθ=0.27δθθ; dominated by δZ error.
δQ2Q2=54 with Term "B" above being the biggest contributor to the error because δZZ = 26%
Use R2 and R1 together to reduce the δZZ error.

Using only R1 and R2

R1 and R2 together may be used to reconstruct straight tracks and determine the Q2 of elasticly scattered electrons. The Q2 for elastically scattered electrons can be determine if the incident electron energy (E) and the scattered electron zenith angle (θ) are known where the "z-axis" of a spherical coordinate system is directed down the beam pipe in the direction of the incident electron. The Region 1 tracking system measures the distance of the scattered electron from the center of the beam pipe (rsin(θ)). For a point target one would be able to determine the scattering angle \theta using the distance of the Region 1 detector from the target. The Qweak target, however is extended in the "z" direction and prevents an accurate calculation of θ with just one tracking element. A second tracking element, Region 2, along with knowledge of the "X" and "Y" location of the incident beam will enable a determination of a plane intersecting the z-axis at the interaction point. The scattering angle θ can be determined using

tan(θ)=rsin(θ)rcos(θ)=rsin(θ)Z

or

θ=tan1(rsin(θ)Z)
A plot of the Q2 error achievable by 2 tracking systems according to the distance Z between the systems and their combined tracking resolution in mm.
