need to insert moller shielding into card after moller LUND file is created. (see clas12/beamline)
Simulating the Moller scattering background for EG12
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
