(Roughly) Bending Effects of MagneticField in VELO & TT S. Blusk June 17, 2009
Question • Issue: In trigger, we don’t want to consider low momentum tracks, since they undergo large multiple scattering and thus have degraded resolution. • Would like to avoid doing tracking in T stations, as this is likely CPU intensive. • Can we use tracking station(s) at Z=2.5 m(such as TT), to select tracks ofsufficient momentum for triggering?
Basic Idea DL Bending in xz plane due to By
LHCb Magnetic Field Parameterization (Based on Hall probe measurements) Use <By> = 1.8x10-4 T, DL=0.7 m Use <By> = 0.02 TDL = 2.5 m CHEP 07
Preliminary Conclusions • A station at TT could provide a “momentum selection” • Need a real simulation to see if we pick up too many hits in current TT • Maybe finer granularity needed • No gaps, obviously • Will do a more realistic GEANT simulationvs luminosity • Perhaps slightly higher field can be obtained in region between VELO and TT?
