File:LUND Spread.C

The LUND file is created by creating an isotropic distribution of particles within the Moller Center of Mass frame of reference. These particles are also uniformly distributed through the angle theta with respect to the beam line in the range 5-40 degrees. This is done at a set angle phi (10 degrees) with respect to the perpendicular components with respect to the beam line.

Center of Mass for Stationary Target

For an incoming electron of 11GeV striking a stationary electron we would expect:

Phase space Limiting Particles

Since the angle phi has been constrained to remain constant, the x and y components of the momentum will increase in the positive first quadrant. This implies that the z component of the momentum must decrease by the relation:

[math]p^2=p_x^2+p_y^2+p_z^2[/math]

In the Center of Mass frame, this becomes:

[math]p_x^{*2}+p_y^{*2} = p^{*2}-p_z^{*2}[/math]


Since the momentum in the CM frame is a constant, this implies that pz must decrease. For phi=10 degrees:

This is repeated for rotations of 60 degrees in phi in the Lab frame.


We can use the variable rapidity:

[math]y \equiv \frac {1}{2} \ln \left(\frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z}\right)[/math]

where

[math] P^+ \equiv E+p_z[/math]
[math] P^- \equiv E-p_z[/math]

this implies that as

[math]p_z \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow 1 \Rrightarrow \ln 1 \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow y=0[/math]


For forward travel in the light cone:

[math]p_z \rightarrow E \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow \infin \Rrightarrow \ln \infin \rightarrow \infin \Rrightarrow y \rightarrow \infin [/math]


For backward travel in the light cone:

[math]p_z \rightarrow -E \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow \ln 0 \rightarrow -\infin \Rrightarrow y \rightarrow -\infin [/math]


For a particle that transforms from the Lab frame to the CM frame where the particle is not within the light cone:

[math]p_x^2+p_y^2=52.589054^2+9.272868^2=53.400MeV \gt 53.015 MeV (E) \therefore p_z \rightarrow imaginary[/math]

These particles are outside the light cone and are more timelike, thus not visible in normal space. This will reduce the number of particles that will be detected.

Determining Momentum Components After Collision in CM Frame

The energy and total momentum of the Moller and scattered electron remain the same under a rotation in any frame of reference. After the collision, these quantities remain the same, but the x, y, z components change.

In this frame, we can cycle through values of theta from 90 to 180 degrees which physically correspond to a stationary electron being impinged by an electron.


Theta Dependent Components

Using [math]\theta '_2=\arccos \left(\frac{p^'_{2(z)}}{p^'_{2}}\right)[/math]


[math]\Longrightarrow {p^'_{2(z)}=p^'_{2}\cos(\theta '_2)}[/math]



Checking on the sign resulting from the cosine function, we are limited to:

[math]90^\circ \le \theta '_2 \le 180^\circ \equiv \frac{\pi}{2} \le \theta '_2 \le \pi Radians[/math]

Since,

[math]\frac{p^'_{2(z)}}{p^'_{2}}=cos(\theta '_2)[/math]


[math]\Longrightarrow p^'_{2(z)}\ should\ always\ be\ negative[/math]


Phi Dependent Components

Since only the z direction is considered to be the relativistic direction of motion, this implies that the x and y components are not effected by a Lorentz transformation and remain the same in the CM and Lab frame. Holding the angle Phi constant at an initial value of 10 degrees, allows us to find the x and y components.

Similarly, [math]\phi '_2=\arccos \left( \frac{p^'_{2(x) Lab}}{p^'_{2(xy)}} \right)[/math]


where [math]p_{2(xy)}^'=\sqrt{(p_{2(x)}^')^2+(p^'_{2(y)})^2}[/math]


[math](p^'_{2(xy)})^2=(p^'_{2(x)})^2+(p^'_{2(y)})^2[/math]


and using [math]p^2=p_{(x)}^2+p_{(y)}^2+p_{(z)}^2[/math]


this gives [math](p^'_{2})^2=(p^'_{2(xy)})^2+(p^'_{2(z)})^2[/math]


[math]\Longrightarrow (p'_{2})^2-(p'_{2(z)})^2 = (p'_{2(xy)})^2[/math]


[math]\Longrightarrow p_{2(xy)}^'=\sqrt{(p^'_{2})^2-(p^'_{2(z)})^2}[/math]


which gives[math]\phi '_2 = \arccos \left( \frac{p_{2(x)}'}{\sqrt{p_{2}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(z)}^{'\ 2}}}\right)[/math]
[math]\Longrightarrow p_{2(x)}'=\sqrt{p_{2}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(z)}^{'\ 2}} \cos(\phi)[/math]


Similarly, using [math]p_{2}^2=p_{2(x)}^2+p_{2(y)}^2+p_{2(z)}^2[/math]


[math]\Longrightarrow p_{2}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(x)}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(z)}^{'\ 2}=p_{2(y)}^{'\ 2}[/math]
[math]p_{2(y)}'=\sqrt{p_{2}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(x)}^{'\ 2}-p_{2(z)}^{'\ 2}}[/math]


Checking on the sign from the cosine results for [math]\phi '_2[/math]


We have the limiting range that [math]\phi[/math] must fall within:

[math]-\pi \le \phi '_2 \le \pi\ Radians[/math]

Examining the signs of the components which make up the angle [math]\phi[/math] in the 4 quadrants which make up the xy plane:

[math]For\ 0 \ge \phi '_2 \ge \frac{-\pi}{2}\ Radians[/math]
px=POSITIVE
py=NEGATIVE
[math]For\ 0 \le \phi '_2 \le \frac{\pi}{2}\ Radians[/math]
px=POSITIVE
py=POSITIVE
[math]For\ \frac{-\pi}{2} \ge \phi '_2 \ge -\pi\ Radians[/math]
px=NEGATIVE
py=NEGATIVE
[math]For\ \frac{\pi}{2} \le \phi '_2 \le \pi\ Radians[/math]
px=NEGATIVE
py=POSITIVE

Electron Center of Mass Frame

Relativistically, the x, y, and z components have the same magnitude, but opposite direction, in the conversion from the Moller electron's Center of Mass frame to the electron's Center of Mass frame.


[math]p^*_{2(x)}= -p^*_{1(x)}[/math]


[math]p^*_{2(y)}= -p^*_{1(y)}[/math]


[math]p^*_{2(z)}=-p^*_{1(z)}[/math]

where previously it was shown

[math]|p^*_{1}|\equiv |p^*_{2}|[/math]



[math]E^*_{1}\equiv E^*_{2}[/math]
