Figure 3a: A plot of the number of Moller scattering angle theta in the center of mass frame versus the theoretical differential cross section. The width of the bins is 0.001 degrees for the angles in the center of mass frame corresponding to angles of 5 to 40 degrees in the lab frame. A weight has been assigned for each value in theta which will give the theoretical differential cross section when applied.

Figure 3b: A plot of the number of Moller scattering angle theta in the lab frame versus the theoretical differential cross section. The width of the bins is 0.5 degrees for the angles in the lab frame. A weight has been assigned for each value in theta which will give the theoretical differential cross section when applied.

Figure 2: Using the theoretical differential cross section, the distribution of Moller electrons for a CM energy of approximately 53Mev can be distributed through the CM scattering angle Theta. Using Lorentz transformations, these distributions can be transformed to the lab frame. At around 60 degrees in the lab the Moller electron has an energy of close to 1 MeV. Such a low energy does not allow the Moller electron to leave the constrains of the target where they are created.

DC hits -vs- Solenoid

Starting the clas12 Moller simulation with a simple configuration, most components downstream with respect to the drift chambers are taken out of the gcard file. The remaining components, the Drift Chamber (DC), the Solenoid, and the Magnetic Components (CAD) are all that remain as shown below. The Torus field is held at zero Tesla, and the Solenoid field strength is increased from 0 to it's max of 5T.

Figure 2: With the Torus strength at zero Telsa, the solenoid is varied to show the hits within the DC moving off the faces of R1. These hits consist of primary Moller electrons, as well as secondary electrons and photons created by the Moller electrons.

As the Solenoid field strength increases, the Moller electrons are forced to into a helical path of decreasing radius, effectively "rotating" off the DC face. The relative value of the field changes the direction field, which in turn causes slightly more hits to be deposited on one side versus the other. This effect is only noticeable in that the neighboring sectors to S1 were not simulated.

Figure 2: The effect of the sign of the solenoid magnetic field is apparent when neighboring sectors are not simulated.

However, as the field reaches maximum, there are still particles which are found at higher values of [math]\theta[/math] that would have been expected to have remained after the effects of the Solenoid. To understand the causes of this phenomena, the hits on Region 1 can be broken into the most common types of particles that are detected; Primary Moller electrons and secondary electrons and photons caused by the Moller electron. Looking more closely at this particle makeup as the solenoid field is increased, we can see that the ratio of primary electrons to total hits decreases while the ratio of photons to total hits increases.

Figure 2: The relative ratio of primary Moller electrons to total hits in S1R1 decreases as the solenoid field strength is increased.

Without Magnet Components

To examine the possibility that scattering is the cause of the noise, the simulation is further simplified by removing the magnetic components stored in the CAD directory.

Figure 2: With the Torus strength at zero Telsa, the solenoid is at full strength and the magnet components in the CAD directory are removed. Due to scattering effects, the rate for 50nA is reduced by a factor of almost 20.

To effectively determine the cause of the remaining particles in S1R1 the hit particles' vertex points can be recorded producing a tomography plot.  A changing field is still useful in that the lack of number of hits at high solenoid field strength would make determining the physical cause difficult.
