2 MeV Positrons

Measured Electron energy distribution at 10 MeV on 1.mm target

Simulation steps

1.) GEANT4 Simulated Beam energy distribution

2.) GEANT4 Simulated Positrons emitted from 1.x mm thick target

3.) Now use above Positron distribution as the particle source for G4beamline

stages:

1. Program to input emittance, output beamsize, beam, divergence and beam energy.

2. e- on W, outcome e+. Incident electron distribution on T1. with general particle source with step 1 histogram. check graph x, y, z theta, En_dis out_put is the input. (directory for each).

3. insert T1 and generate positron distribution.

4. Acceleractor code to transport positron along the beamline. Out put positron theta, beamsize (x,y), energy distribution, out puts transported positron.

5. Geant4 takes step 4 output generates gamma (and other e+,e-) and look at those goes to detectors. beamline, plus shielding, and detectors.

Step 1: Generating positron from electron beam

Detector is after T1 to saple positron distribution. 1,379,974,500 electrons shot at the tungsten target to generate positrons.

step 1: ratio

DDNT1 = Detector DowN from T1

DQ4 = Detector at entrance Quad 4 located right after T1

DD1 = Detector at entrance of the first Dipole.

e-(DDT1)/e+(DDNT1) = 1248

e-(DDT1)/e+(DQ4) = 123698

e-(DDT1)/e+(DD1) = 936846

e+(DDNT1)/e+(DQ4) = 99

e+(DDNT1)/e+(DD1) = 750

e+(DQ4)/e+(DD1) = 7.6

Step 2: generate positron

The positrons after T1 is detected on a virtual detector. The positrons beam size, divergence and momentum distributions are extracted and created new positron beam.

Generate positron beam from the detector after T1 and transport it to right before D1.
