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.

Using Isotropic spread in Theta and Energy for Set Angle Phi

Since the Differential Cross-Section for Moller scattering is well known in the center of mass frame of reference, a conversion to the detector's lab frame of reference will need to occur. To ensure that the GEMC detector is fed a Moller LUND file for the differential cross section, the center of mass frame LUND information must be converted to the lab frame equivalent. Using the expression for the differntial cross-section:

[math]\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}=\frac{ \alpha^2 }{4E^2}\frac{ (3+cos^2\theta)^2}{sin^4\theta}[/math]

where,

[math]\alpha ^2=5.3279\times 10^{-5}[/math]

[math]E\approx 53 MeV[/math]

A beam of electrons with a constant energy impinging on a stationary electron in the lab frame can be converted to the center of mass frame energies which by definition must be equal. Since the Energy in the CM frame is constant in so long as the incoming electron energy is constant, we should be able to cycle through only the scattering angle theta to obtain the differential cross-section.

For the GEMC detector to simulate a given distribution, a LUND file must be created. LUND files can pass information about position and momentum, but not angle, in the lab frame. Assuming a constant position at the vertex, this implies that we will need to cycle through the momentum components for the scattered and Moller electrons in the CM frame to vary angle theta in the lab frame. The CM frame also implies that the total momentum for the scattered and Moller electron be equal but opposite.

From the definition of the differential cross-section:

[math]\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega} =\frac{dN}{\mathcal L d\Omega}=\frac{dN}{\Phi \rho \ell d\Omega}[/math]

where

[math]\Phi \equiv [/math]flux, or incoming particles per second

[math]\rho \equiv [/math]target density

[math]\ell \equiv [/math]length of target
