- General:
- MD:Produced new simulation plots with the correct beam spectrum and random background for the hadronic part.
- Plots:
- It will take more work to get the correct beam spectrum and background for all the generators.
- The efficiency is now also determined for the sum of the transverse momentum of the final state.
- There is a Compton (ge->ge) generator which shows that only about 10% efficiency for triggering even without optimization.
- There are a couple of Bethe Heitler generators that I'm looking into but they need to be modified to do what we want.
- SŠ: Coded the unpolarized and polarized Bethe-Heitler formulae, see his report
- AD's comments on Simon's document:
- BH asymmetries seem very small. For GDH, we are looking at asymmetries at the 3% level (see e.g. Helbing review's Fig. 38: Δσ 10 μb, with A=Δσ/(2σ₀). It seems the BH asymmetry is lower by significantly more an order of magnitude. Further, Mark simulation indicate a 10% trigger efficiency for BH, so if it is true, Δσ is further suppressed by an order of magnitude.
- AD's comments on Simon's document:
This points toward the possibility that we can ignore the BH for the proposal.
- Regarding the structure functions for the asymmetry, the atomic form factors should not be needed since the atoms are not polarized.
- For g1 and g2, probably only their values at very small-x that are truly relevant. If so, one can use a simple Regge parameterization of g1, see e.g. arXiv:1808.03202. For g2, we could just assume g2ww(x,Q²)=-g1(x,Q²)+ ∫x¹g₁(y,Q²)/y dy.
***For question #2, the angle coverage, we are planing to use the Compton Calorimeter, which cover down to 0.2°. (Note: we do not have the ComCal in the simulation yet).
