A set of gamma rays were generated at the center of the target and tracked through the GlueX detector using HDGeant. The gamma momenta were generated

  • uniform [0,6] GeV in energy,
  • uniform [0,16] degrees in polar angle,
  • uniform [0,360] degrees in azimuth.

The following figures show the position in ('r','z') where the gamma conversions occurred. The shadows of the detector elements in the forward region are clearly seen, notably the CDC envelope, the FDC frames and cables, and the TOF, as well as the BCal (blue dots) and the FCal.
