Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG1
Step 1
Determine the Moller background using an LH2 target to check the physics in GEANT4
Incident electron energy varies from 1-11 GeV.
LH2 target is a cylinder with a 1.5 cm diameter and 1 cm thickness.
(Following dimensions listed on page 8 of File:PHY02-33.pdf)
Numbers Moller electrons per incident electron.
While 2nd and 3rd generations are created, only 2 2nd generation daughter particles are created for 1E6 incident particles. All knock on electrons are not counted.
Momentum and angular distributions. 11GeV

Different Versions of Møller differential cross section 11GeV
Step 2
Replace the LH2 target with an NH3 target and compare with LH2 target.
Step 3
Determine impact of Solenoid magnet on Moller events
