need to insert moller shielding into card after moller LUND file is created. (see clas12/beamline)
Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG12
Moller Differential Cross-Section
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
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
Benchmark GEANT4's Moller scattering prediction with the theoretical cross section using NH3
Comparison of simulation vs. the theoretical Møller differential cross section using 11 GeV electrons impinging NH3

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
In the lab frame for an incident electron of 11 GeV through an NH3 target.
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.
