  14. tank PMT reflector and WLS crystal Simulating LArGe L. Pandola Simple setup: Goal: complete simulation of the scintillation photons LAr scintillation: large yield (40,000 ph/MeV) but in the UV (128 nm) • Surface reflection. • Scattering & absorption. • Crystal shadowing effects. • Properties of WLS. • All depend on wave-lengths! Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 3) R&D

  15. It is complicated!! Optical physics Geant4 (and then MaGe) is able to produce & track optical photons (e.g. from scintillation or Cerenkov) • Processes into the game: • scintillation in LAr • Cerenkov in LAr • boundary and surface effects • absorption in bulk materials • Rayleigh scattering • wavelenght shifting Refraction index of LAr Properties of all interfaces (reflectivity, absorbance) Absorption length of LAr Rayleigh length of LAr Emission spectrum of VM2000 (measured here) and QE The optical properties of materials and of surfaces (e.g. refraction index, absorption length) must be implemented  often unknown (or poorly known) in UV Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 3) R&D

  16. Ar peak VM2000 emission Cerenkov spectrum Output from the simulation Frequency spectrum of photons at the PM (to be convoluted with QE!) The ratio between the LAr peak and the optical part depends on the WLS QE: critical parameter Scintillation yield  40,000 ph/MeV Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 3) R&D

  17. LArGe set-up at Gran Sasso The geometry for the LArGe set-up at Gran Sasso has been implemented in MaGe It includes the shielding layers, the cryo-liquid and the Ge crystals Number of crystals columns and planstunable by macro ( interfaced with the general Gerda geometry tools) Available in MaGe and ready for physics studies

  20. Summary on LArGe Simulation measurement simulation analysis presented in this talk is preliminary Comparison limited by measurement. but: we show that LAr suppression works MaGe reproduces the spectra fairly well Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 3) R&D

  21. 4) MaGe verification with SHIELD A. Denisov SHIELD-HIT(INR RAS,KI,2001) (Energies at 1 TeV/A are available) SHIELDHI(INR RAS,1997) (Interactions of nucleons, Pi, K, anti nucleons, muons, all (A,Z) nuclei.

  25. Pulse shape simulation • How to simulate PS: •  Calculate electric field E with given boundary & bias voltage. • Calculate “weighting field” for each segment (Ramo’s theory). •  Hits from MaGe. •  Convert hits into electron-hole pairs (1 pair per 3eV). •  electric field  Drift path. •  weighting field along path Induced charge in each segment. •  convolute with pre-amp & DAQ effect. Kevin Kroeninger Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 5) Pulse shape

  26. Drifting field • Example: true coaxial n-type detector Electrons Holes Electrons Holes Local energy deposition Gerda Collab. , Jun 27-29, 2005 5) Pulse shape
