The occupancy measures the number of particles interactions per a detector cell per an event. For the CLAS12 drift chamber, there are 112 wires on each layer, with 12 layers within a region, giving 1344 cells. This can simply be defined as the "Unweighted Occupancy" for the CLAS12 DC and follows the equation:
where
The registering of a "hit" takes a finite time in which the detector and its associated electronics are not able to register an additional signal if it occurs. This time window is known as the "dead time" during which only limited events are registered. For Region 1:
Since the events are simulated outside the dead time constraints of the DC, we can factor in the number of event windows that occur by dividing the dead time window per region by the time that would have been required to produce the number of incident electrons given a known current.
