need to insert moller shielding into card after moller LUND file is created. (see clas12/beamline)

Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG12

Moller Differential Cross-Section

GEANT4 Simulation of Moller Events

Simulation Setup

Use GEANT4 via GEMC to estimate the Moller background for electron scattering experiments in JLab's Hall B. The first step towards this goal is to use GEANT4 without the GEMC infrastructure to create event (LUND) files that will be used as input events for GEMC.

Benchmark GEANT4's Moller scattering prediction with the theoretical cross section using LH2

Comparison of simulation vs. the theoretical Møller differential cross section using 11 GeV electrons impinging LH2

Converting the number of scattered electrons per scattering angle theta to a differential cross-section in barns.

Experimental and Theoretical Moller Differential Cross-Section in Center of Mass Frame Frame

Change to a NH3 Target

Replacing the LH2 target with an NH3 target

Benchmark GEANT4's Moller scattering prediction with the theoretical cross section using NH3

Comparison of simulation vs. the theoretical Møller differential cross section using 11 GeV electrons impinging NH3

Converting the number of scattered electrons per scattering angle theta to a differential cross-section in barns.

LH2 Vs. NH3

Benchmark GEANT4's Moller scattering prediction for NH3 and LH2

Effects Due to Target Material

Target Density

Atomic Mass and Electron Number Effects

Differential Cross-Section Offset

ROOT Macro to read LUND files and make plots

Run the above theta and E distribution of Mollers through GEMC with and without Solenoid on.  Determine the Theta and E range of Mollers that enter the detector.

Scanning from 2MeV to 5500MeV, and 0 to 36 degrees in Theta.

For Solenoid on with 5T:
