Overview

This page is for the organization and sharing of information about simulations for the Fall 2014 Commissioning data.

General Info

Conditions

  • Software - static conditions page
    • branches/sim-recon-commissioning
    • branches/hdds-commissioning
    • JANA 0.7.2
    • CCDB 1.03
      • JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT="variation=mc calibtime=2014-09-30"
  • 200M bggen events with Solenoid @ 0 A and 1200 A
  • Assume unpolarized photon beam 1-10 MHz/GeV at the endpoint
    • BG parameters: min E(g) = 1.2 MeV, BGRATE 1.10, BGGATE -800. 800.,

How to Access Simulated Data

The files can be found at the following location:

How to Run Over Simulated Data

To set up the environment on the JLab CUE, using the following script

source /group/halld/Software/conditions/detcom/01/conditions/setup_jlab.csh

Since each run is generated with a different non-standard magnetic field, your analysis program (e.g. hd_root) must be passed the following parameters:

  • Run 9101 (1200A): -PBFIELD_MAP=Magnets/Solenoid/solenoid_1200A_poisson_20140520
  • Run 9102 (No field): -PBFIELD_TYPE=NoField
  • Run 9103 (300A): -PBFIELD_MAP=Magnets/Solenoid/solenoid_300A_poisson_20140819

If running over EVIO files, the environment variable JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT MUST contain a reference to "variation=mc", e.g.,

JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT="variation=mc calibtime=2014-09-15"

Beam Simulations

EM Background Simulations

The goal of these simulations is to determine the lowest field at which the solenoid magnet can be run while not having the detector overwhelmed with signals from background beam photons. The FDC and FCAL are the limiting factors.

  • The zero magnetic field simulations described above.
  • 1M each with Solenoid @ 50 A, 100 A, 200 A, 300 A

Other questions

  • What is the background rate with no target?
  • What is the background rate with various targets?

Hadronic Event Simulations

Overall hadronic rate

Reference: Fall 2014 Commissioning Plan

Assume 50 nA CW electron beam

Hadronic Event Rate
1.5 µm Al 10 µm Al 30 µm Al
10mm CH2
2mm CH2
2/7mm CH2
3.4mm graphite

Final States

These reactions can be used either as benchmarks due to their large cross section or are interesting to various subdetectors

  • γp→π+π-p
  • γp→π+π-π0(p), π0→γγ
  • γp→π+π-π+π-(p)
  • γp→ηπ+π-(p), η→γγ
  • γp→K+K-π+π-(p)
  • γp→K+Λ, Λ→pπ-
