G4beamline Investigationof LiH Contaminated with Cu Tom Roberts Muons, Inc. LiH Contaminated with Cu
Background • 100 mm LiH, 500 mm radius • Zero-emittance μ+ beam, 200 MeV/c(=120 MeV) • Histograms immediately downstream of LiH • Contamination: 0 ppm, 140 ppm, 1000 ppm • 1,000,000 events • Pure LiH is a line plot, points with errorbars are contaminated: 140 ppm is red, 1000 ppm is blue LiH Contaminated with Cu
Px/Pz – LiH Uncontaminated LiH Contaminated with Cu
Ps/Pz – Contaminated See Previous plot for scales (bug in Root). LiH Contaminated with Cu
KEmuon – Contaminated LiH Contaminated with Cu
Conclusion • 140 ppm of Cu does not appear to significantly affect the multiple scattering or energy loss, compared to pure LiH. LiH Contaminated with Cu
