Lead Shield Cone

Target

We need to edit the EXn02DetectorConstruction file to allow for a target that is a lead cone to simulate the Moller Shield. The header file for an elliptical Cone gives the parameters need to call with.

// G4EllipticalCone
// 
// Class description:
//
// G4EllipticalCone is a full cone with elliptical base which can be cut in Z.
//
// Member Data:
//
//      xSemiAxis       semi-axis, x, without dimentions
//      ySemiAxis       semi-axis, y, without dimentions
//      zheight         height, z
//      zTopCut         upper cut plane level, z
// 
// The height in Z corresponds to where the elliptical cone hits the
// Z-axis if it had no Z cut. Also the cone is centered at zero having a
// base at zTopCut and another at -zTopCut. The semi-major axes at the Z=0
// plane are given by xSemiAxis*zheight and ySemiAxis*zheight so that the
// curved surface of our cone satisfies the equation:

// *                                                                         *
// *           (x/xSemiAxis)^2 + (y/ySemiAxis)^2 = (zheight - z)^2           *
// *                                                                         *
// ***************************************************************************
// 
// In case you want to construct G4EllipticalCone from :
//   1. halflength in Z = zTopCut
//   2. Dx and Dy =  halflength of ellipse axis  at  z = -zTopCut
//   3. dx and dy =  halflength of ellipse axis  at  z =  zTopCut
//      ! Attention :  dx/dy=Dx/Dy
// 
// You need to find xSemiAxis,ySemiAxis and zheight:
//
//  xSemiAxis = (Dx-dx)/(2*zTopCut)
//  ySemiAxis = (Dy-dy)/(2*zTopCut)
//    zheight = (Dx+dx)/(2*xSemiAxis)

The geometry looks like

Solving the variables:

1. zTopCut

The cone shape starts 380 mm from the vertex point. It extends 1325.9 beyond the starting position. This gives the full length from where it would cross the z axis as 1705.9 mm. Since this cone is centered at the origin with zTopCut positive and negative placed an equal distance from the vertex, 1325.9/2=662.95 mm.

2. Dx and Dy

The length of the x and y components at the larger end of the cone are found from the radius at this position. Using geometry, for a right triangle with it's apex at the vertex and a height of 1705.9, with an interior angle of 5 degrees.

[math]1705.9\ mm\ Tan\ 5^\circ=149.247\ mm[/math]

3. dx and dy

Using geometry, for a right triangle with it's apex at the vertex and a height of 380, with an interior angle of 5 degrees.

[math]380\ mm\ Tan\ 5^\circ=33.246\ mm[/math]

Solving for the variable to pass to the function:

[math] xSemiAxis = \frac{Dx-dx}{2*zTopCut}= \frac{149.25-33.25}{2*662.95}= \frac{116}{1325.9}=.087=ySemiAxis [/math]

The height in z is defined at the the point where the cone vertex crosses the z=0 plane in x&y. From the drawing, the vertex is originally placed at 0,0,0. Since the GEANT4 cone is centered at a new vertex with the circular cross sections of the cone at +/- 662.95, and the distance from the first smaller cross section is 380, this gives the intersection at 1042.95 cm with respect to the new vertex. Verifying this:

[math]zheight = \frac{Dx+dx}{2*xSemiAxis}=\frac{149.247+33.25}{2*0.087}=\frac{182.5}{.175}=1042.95[/math]

NOTE: This will need to be rotated 180 degrees so that the large end is nearest to the particle vertex.

Effects of DC/Tracker on Moller particles

The DC chamber is filled with a mixture of 90%/10% of Ar/CO2. The density of this gas can be calculated can be calculated using the ideal gas law, expressed as a function of temperature and pressure:

[math]\rho = \frac{p}{R_{\rm specific} T} [/math]

where:

[math]\rho = density\ (g/cm3)[/math]

[math]p = absolute\ pressure\ (Pa)[/math]

[math]T = absolute\ temperature\ (K)[/math]

[math]R_{\rm specific} = specific\ gas\ constant\ (J/(g·K))[/math]

The specific gas constant of a gas or a mixture of gases ([math]R_{specific}[/math]) is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass (M) of the gas or mixture, or in turn by Boltzmann constant over the molecular mass of the gas.

[math]R_{\rm specific}=\frac {R}{M}=\frac {k_{\rm {B}}}{m}[/math]

The average molar mass of mixtures [math] \bar {M} [/math] can be calculated from the mole fractions [math] x_{i} [/math] of the components and their molar masses [math] M_{i}[/math]:

[math] \bar {M}=\sum _{i}x_{i}M_{i}[/math]

M(Ar) = 39.948 × 1 g/mol = 39.948 g/mol M(CO2) = 12.01+16.00*2× 1 g/mol = 44.01 g/mol

[math] \bar {M}=0.9*39.948 g/mol+0.1*44.01 g/mol=35.9532+4.401=40.354 g/mol[/math]

[math]R_{\rm specific}=\frac {R}{M}[/math]

where:

R=8.314 J / mol. K.

[math]R_{\rm specific}=\frac {8.314 J / mol. K.}{40.354 g/mol}=335.505 \frac{J}{g \cdot K}[/math]

[math]\rho = \frac{p}{R_{\rm specific} T} [/math]

Using the normal temperature and pressure of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa)

[math]\rho = \frac{101.325 kPa}{335.505 \frac{J}{g \cdot K} 293.15 K} [/math]
