Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG1
Step 1
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 and angular distributions. 11GeV
In the collision of two particles of mass m1 and m2, the total energy in the center of mass frame can be written
In the frame where one particle (m2) is at rest
This gives the momenta of the particles in the center of mass to have equal magnitude, but opposite directions
Comparing experimental vs. theoretical for Møller differential cross section 11GeV
Step 2
Replace the LH2 target with an NH3 target and compare with LH2 target.
Step 3
Determine impact of Solenoid magnet on Moller events
