Report on the UCSC/SCIPP BeamCal Simulation Effort ECFA Linear Collider Workshop Palacio de la Magdalena Santander, Cantabria, Spain May 30 – June 5, 2016 Bruce Schumm UC Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics
The SCIPP BeamCal Simulation Group • The group consists of UCSC undergraduate physics majors (and one engineering major) • Christopher Milke (Lead)* Heading to SMU’s doctoral program in fall • Jane Shtalenkova, Luc D’Hauthuille, Spenser Estrada, Benjamin Smithers, Summer Zuber, Cesar Ramirez • AlixFeinsod • Led by myself, with technical help and collaboration from Jan Strube, Anne Schuetz, Tim Barklow • Power consumption for irradiated Si sensors • VXD Occupancy / Anti-DiD Field • Determining ILC IP parameters with the BeamCal • Bhabha events and the two-photon physics veto • SUSY in the degenerate limit
Luc d'Hauthuille Bruce Schumm University of California, Santa Cruz Power Draw of the Beam Calorimeter as a function of Temperature & Radiation Dosage
Motivation • Folk wisdom suggests that Si diode sensors are not ideal for high-radiation environments due to their development of significant leakage current • This may be correct, but is it truly a problem? • We have taken extensive IV data as a function of ambient and annealing temperature, for a P-type sensor exposed to 270 Mrad (~ 3 years) of electromagnetically-induced radiation. • Here, we estimate the resulting distribution & sum of the dark-current power draw in the BeamCal
Assumptions Power modeled as a function of radiation and temperature Power drawn scales linearly with radiation dosage Temperature dependent IV data was taken at SCIPP for a Si sensor exposed to 270 MRads of radiation after a 60˚C annealing process, by Cesar Gonzalez & Wyatt Crockett. A 3rd degree polynomial was fit to this I vs. T data, for a Bias Voltage = 600V
Overview • The LCSIM framework was used to compute the energy deposited from 10 simulated background events (bunch crossings at 500 GeV collision energy) • Energy deposited was then extrapolated for 3 years of runtime, and converted to radiation dosage • Temperature was input and combined with radiation dosage to compute the power draw for each mm^2 pixel, at each layer, for 600V bias (charge-collection about 90% after 270 Mrad) • Power draw of these pixels was plotted on a heatmap for a range of temperatures (-7, 0,7, 15 ˚C)
Model for Power Draw Using these assumptions, power drawn by a pixel is: P(R,T) = (R/270MRads)*(600V)*I(T) where R is radiation dosage, T is temperature, 600V is the Bias Voltage and I(T) is the current given by the fit.
Layers 2 & 10 of BeamCal at T = 0˚C P_max = 4.59 mW (for a single mm2 pixel)
Layers 2 & 10 of BeamCal at T = 15˚C P_max = 23.16 mW (for a single mm2 pixel)
Power Drawn(Watts) of BeamCal collapsed T = -7 ˚C T = 0 ˚C P_total = 4.467 W P_total = 11.01 W P_max = 1.86 mW P_max = 4.59 mW (for a single pixel) (for a single pixel)
Further investigations • Power draw maps can provide an input to design a system that avoids thermal runaway • Three other types of Si sensors (NF, PC, NC) have been irradiated to 300 MRads and the PF sensor to 500 MRads, which await damage measurements
Bhabha Events • Issue: • Degenerate SUSY has background from two-photon events • Hope to reduce by detecting scattered primary e+/- in BeamCal and vetoing the event • If a SUSY event is overlain with a Bhabha event with an e+/- in the BeamCal, we will reject SUSY • What is the rate of Bhabha events with e+/- in the Beamcal? • Bhabhas with virtuality-Q2 > 1 GeV (~ 4 mrad scatter) available at • with cross section = 278 nb • Raw rate of 0.76 Bhabha events per beam crossing ftp://ftp-lcd.slac.stanford.edu/ilc4/DBD/ILC500/bhabha_inclusive/stdhep/bhabha_inclusive*.stdhep
Bhabha Event Classes Bhabha events fall into three classes Miss-Miss: Both e-/e+ miss the BeamCal; not problematic Hit-Hit: Both e-/e+ hit the BeamCal; should be identifiable with kinematics (need to demonstrate) Hit-Miss: One and only one of e-/e+ hit the BeamCal; background to two-photon rejection. Naively, 11% of SUSY events would be rejected due to Hit-Miss events, plus whatever fraction of the 48% of Hit-Hit crossings aren’t clearly identified based on e+/- kinematics.
Hit/Hit events: e+-e- angular correlation “Type a quote here.” –Johnny Appleseed
After cut of < 1.0 Mrad, 33% of Hit/Hit Bhabhas remain (16% of crossings). Can possibly eliminate with energy cut (need to balance against two-photon and SUSY events)
For Hit/Miss events, there may well be useful kinematic handles… but again, need to compare to two-photon and SUSY signal distributions
Degenerate SUSY and Electron Tagging • SUSY has a cosmologically-motivated corner where a weakly-coupled particle (stau) is nearly generate with the LSP (0) • We have generated events at Ecm= 500 GeV with • M~= (100, 150, 250) GeV • ~-0splittings of (20.0, 12.7, 8.0, 5.0, 3.2, 2.0) GeV • Concern: Two-photon events provide • greater and greater background as • splitting decreases. • Hope: We can tag the scattered electron or • Positron in the Beamcal and veto. • But: If photons are from Beamstrahlung, electron/positron do not get a pTkick (is this right Tim?)
Two-Photon Event Rate • Thanks to Tim Barklow, SLAC, we have ~107 generator-level two photons events, with electron/positron photon fluxes given by the Weizsacker-Williams approximation (W) and/or the Beamstrahlung distribution (B). • Events have been generated down to M = 300 MeV. • For this phase space, the ILC event rate is approximately 1.2 events/pulse. • 1 year of events corresponds to (1.2)x(2650)x(5)x(107) events, or about 1.6x1011 events per year. • How do we contend with such a large number of events in our simulation studies?
Two-Photon Approach • Convenient data storage in 2016: ~5 TB • Tim Barklow: • 5 TB is about 109 generated (not simulated!) events • 1011 events requires 4000 2-day jobs • Jan Strube: Don’t worry about CPU (really?) • Proposed approach: • Do study at generator-level only. • Except: Full BeamCal simulation to determine electron-ID efficiency as a function of (E,r,) of electron. Parameterize with 3-D function and use in generator-level analysis • Devise “online cuts” applied at generation that reduce data sample by x100 (can this be done?) • Store resulting 109 events and complete analysis “offline”
In Search Of: “Online Selection” • For now, looking at three observables: • M: mass of system • S: Sum of magnitudes of pT for all particles in system • V: Magnitude of vector sum of pT for particles in system • Each of these is done both for McTruth as well as “reconstructed” detector proxy • Detector Proxy: Particles (charged ot neutral) detected if • No neutrinos • |cos()| < 0.9
ISO “Online Selection”: Mass (M) 0 Mass 2 GeV Splitting SUSY Signal; ~ Mass = 150 GeV Two-photon background Seems like a clean cut, but what is seen in the “detector”?
“Detected” Mass (M) 0 Mass SUSY Signal; ~ Mass = 150 GeV Two-photon background For 2 GeV splitting, even a cut of 0.5 MeV removes some signal
S Observable: “Detected” 0 Mass SUSY Signal; ~ Mass = 150 GeV Two-photon background Fairly promising as well; but is it independent of M?
V Observable: “Detected” 0 Mass Two-photon background SUSY Signal; ~ Mass = 150 GeV Not as promising; looks better for “true”, but even for Vtrue = 0, reconstructed V has significant overlap with SUSY signal (save for “offline” part of study?)
Cut flow for S, M Distributions • News is not the best: • S and M observables very correlated • 3% loss of signal (at 2 GeV!) reduces background by only ~2/3 • Other discriminating variables?
Forward EMCal Readout Buffer Depth Study • Issue: • EMCal read out by KPiX chip • KPiX chip has limited number of buffers (currently 4). This limits the number of hits that can be recorded per pulse train • Study backgrounds to determine if buffer depth needs to be extended, and if so, by how much.

Parting Thoughts • The SCIPP simulation group is active on a number of fronts. • In addition to expanding our BeamCal efforts, we are also looking into the forward EMCal occupancy. • We have a number of studies in mind, largely related to answering design questions about the BeamCal. We continue to be open to suggestion or refinements. • Support from Norman and others will remain essential.
