Momentum reconstruction • Reconstruction class TofTrack being added to G4MICE • In close collaboration with Malcolm • Very simple to begin with • Designed to be useful before trackers are operating • Details to follow at CM20 • The following work is a look beyond that at the difficulties of doing something more sophisticated • The following numbers are Monte Carlo truth… • Designed to illustrate the intrinsic difficulties in reconstructing momentum given TOF0 and TOF1 data • No time measurement error • No transverse position measurement error • Neglect corner clippers • Use hit with most photoelectrons Analysis meeting: Beam momentum measurements using TOFs Tuesday, 22 January 2008

Momentum measurement uncertainty • p = b g(b) m0 c • assume PID ascertains m0 • Timing uncertainty • Technical challenge: progress being made in Milano • One counter = scintillator with 2 PMTs • “…a conservative request for single counters timing resolution is 60–70 ps” • MICE Note 145 • Other factors: • 2 planes per station • Rotated so as to yield ‘space points’ • Multiple space points per muon possible/likely • st1–t0 will be larger still • Path length uncertainty • Software challenge: challenges remain… • Multiple scattering in Tof-0, Cerenkov, Tof-1 and air • Focusing in quadrupoles Q7, Q8 and Q9 • Limited transverse position resolution Analysis meeting: Beam momentum measurements using TOFs Tuesday, 22 January 2008
