Light yield estimates

  1. 5 mm thick scintillators
  2. 10000 initial photons per tagged electron
    • assume that 2000 photons are collected (20 % light collection efficiency)
    • 400 p.e. (assuming 20% quantum efficiency)

Counter rates (according to the latest Dan's design)

  1. 1.1 μ A electron current, 10^{{-4}}X_{{0}} radiator

(corresponds to the photon flux of 5x10^{{7}} phot/sec in the cohrent peak region)

  1. Counter rate around E_gamma = 9 GeV: 1 - 1.5 MHz

(counter withd 20 MeV)
