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

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
