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 distributions.

In the collision of two particles of mass m_1 and m_2, the total energy in the center of mass frame can be written

[math]E[/math]

[math]E_{cm}={(E_1+E_2)^2-(p_1+p_2)^2}[/math]


Ecm=[m12+m22+2E1E2(1-β1β2cosθ)]1/2

where θ is the angle between the particles. In the frame where one particle (m2) is at rest

Ecm=(m12+m22+2E1 labm2)1/2

The velocity of the center of mass in the lab frame is

βcm=plab/(E1 lab+m2),

where plab≡p1 lab and

γcm(E1 lab+m2)/Ecm

This gives the momenta of the particles in the center of mass to have equal magnitude, but opposite directions

pcm=plabm2/Ecm

For an incoming electron with momentum of 11GeV, we should find the momentum in the center of mass to be around 50 MeV which is not confirmed in the the plots.

Sample output from GEANT4 simulation:

Running a GEANT simulation just to put this set into a .dat file, then using the .dat file through the Moller_OG.C file in ROOT, we find in the Lab Frame:

Fnl4Mom.P 10999.599651
Fnl4Mom.E 10999.599621
Mol4Mom.P 1.320928

Fnl4Mom.Theta(radians) 0.000087
Mol4Mom.Theta(degrees) 46.756514
Mol4Mom.Theta(radians) 0.815641

And we find in the Center of Mass Frame:

Fnl4Mom.E 27.171610
Mol4Mom.P 27.183827

Comparing experimental vs. theoretical for Møller differential cross section 11GeV

Using the equation from Halzen and Martin (p121) to approximate Moller scattering

[math]\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}=\frac{m^2 \alpha^2}{16 p^2}\left(\frac{1}{\sin^4 \frac{\theta}{2}}+\frac{1}{\cos^4 \frac{\theta}{2}}-\frac{1}{\sin^2 \frac{\theta}{2}\cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}\right)[/math]

where [math]\alpha = \frac{e^2}{4\pi}[/math]

and [math]e^2 = 1.43299764 MeV - fm[/math]


Converting the number of electrons to nano-barns,

[math]L=\frac{i_{scattered}}{\sigma} \approx i_{scattered}\times \rho_{target}\times l_{target}[/math]


where ρtarget is the density of the target material, ltarget is the length of the target, and iscattered is the


[math]L=\frac{70.85 kg}{1 m^3}\times \frac{1 mole}{2.02 g} \times \frac{1000g}{1 kg} \times \frac{6\times10^{23} atoms}{1 mole} \times \frac{1cm}{100 cm} \times \frac{1 m}{ } \times \frac{10^{-23} m^2}{barn} =2.10\times 10^{-2} barns[/math]


[math]\frac{1}{L \times 10^7}=4.75\times 10^{-6} barns[/math]
