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

Converting the number of scattered electrons per scattering angle theta to a differential cross-section in barns.
