PS+TPOL simulations with 75 micron converter (2016)
- simulated run 11484
- 75um beryllium converter
- photon beam energy 8.2 - 9.0 GeV.
- context="variation=mc calibtime=2018-05-21"
- coherent bremsstrahlung spectrum, edge at 9.0 GeV.
- GlueX beamline geometry, 3.4mm collimator, 60um diamond radiator.
- 12.0 GeV electron beam @ 50 nA, 5e-8 m.rad emittance, 0.5mm virtual spot r.m.s.
- 100% PERP polarization on every beam photon, otherwise GlueX beam properties.
- tagger simulation with randoms included over interval [-10, +10]ns.
- background photons included from 1 MeV to endpoint energy.
- sufficient statistics to cut on variables to study systematics:
- A vs photon energy
- A vs photon displacement at converter
- A vs pair energy asymmetry, PS edge effects
- rough estimate of statistics:
- total events generated: 10,000 M
- total events with PS trigger: 2,000 M
- total PS triggers with in-time TPOL hits: 6 M
- total events passing TPOL analysis cuts: ~3 M
- resource estimate: 100khr running on OSG, final sample size ~2 GB
- expected uncertainty on extracted A: 0.1% abs., 0.5% rel.
- final generated statistics:
- events generated (pairs + triplets): 20,828,100,000
- TPOL+PS coincidences recorded: 6,668,155
