Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG1
GEANT4 Simulation of Moller Events
Determine the Moller background using an LH2 target to check the physics in GEANT4
Incident electron energy varies from 1-11 GeV.
LH2 target is a cylinder with a 1.5 cm diameter and 1 cm thickness.
(Following dimensions listed on page 8 of File:PHY02-33.pdf)
Numbers Moller electrons per incident electron.
While 2nd and 3rd generations are created, only 2 2nd generation daughter particles are created for 1E6 incident particles. All knock on electrons are not counted.
Momentum distributions in the Lab Frame.
Momentum distributions in the Center of Mass Frame.
Estimated Momentum Distribution

For an incoming electron with momentum of 11GeV, we should find the momentum in the center of mass to be around 53 MeV which is confirmed in the the data/plots.

Comparing experimental vs. theoretical for Møller differential cross section 11GeV
Using the equation from [1]
This can be simplified to the form
Plugging in the values expected for a scattering electron:
Using unit analysis on the term outside the parantheses, we find that the differential cross section for an electron at this momentum should be around
Using the conversion of
We find that the differential cross section scale is
Converting the number of electrons to barns,
where ρtarget is the density of the target material, ltarget is the length of the target, and iscattered is the number of incident particles scattered.
Combining these plots, and rescaling the Final Theta in the Center of Mass for micro-barns, we find

Step 2
Replace the LH2 target with an NH3 target and compare with LH2 target.
The Moller Momentum plot for higher momenta run to increase the number of values

Density of target material:
C=2.26 g/cm3
NH3=.86g/cm3
LH2=.07g/cm3
Altering the density of LH2 to be .86g/cm3 we find
