Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG12

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.

Figure 5c: The experimental and theoretical Moller electron differential cross-section for an incident 11 GeV(Lab) electron in the Center of Mass frame of reference.

Change to a NH3 Target

Replacing the LH2 target with an NH3 target

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.

Figure 5c: The theoretical and simulated Moller electron differential cross-section for an incident 11 GeV(Lab) electron in the Center of Mass frame of reference for NH3 target.

Differential Cross-Section Offset

Figure 5c: The theoretical and simulated Moller electron differential cross-section for an incident 11 GeV(Lab) electron in the Center of Mass frame of reference for NH3 target. The theoretical differential cross-section has been adjusted to account for the 10 electrons within NH3.

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:
