  1. Shading in PISA Takao

  2. Status and Issue • Implementing shade geometrically (or visually) in PISA was not difficult • An issue was that Cherenkov photons were not absorbed at shades. • Maxim is also aware of same type of problem • Amount of photon conversion did not change at all when Maxim added FEM to HBD • Sound somewhat bigger problem • Geometry nest in HBD: • HALL (PHENIX)  HBDG (Gas Volume)  TISO (HBD Mother frame) • Most of HBD components (HV panel, GEM, etc.) attribute under “TISO” • I added shade under “TISO”, but no particle including photon interact with the shade • A solution found by Maxim was to expand “GSM”(Gas volume include CsI of Top GEM and Mesh) that were already defined, and assign shade under GSM. • Maxim confirmed that the shade absorbs cherenkov photons • Now, another problem happened. • Loss of photons is 40% with 2.5cm height shade with 2.5cm*2.5cm spacing!!

  3. View of Shading No Shade Shade 1.5cm height, 1.5cm*1.5cm spacing Shade 2.5cm height, 2.5cm*2.5cm spacing

  4. Seen from outside PHENIX • Left: NO shade • Right: 2.5cm shade with 2.5cm*2.5cm spacing

  5. Event display of one “same” electron • Cherenkov photons emitted from electrons seem to be reduced if shade is located? 2.5cm means: 2.5cm height, with 2.5cm*2.5cm spacing. Same for 1.5cm. For 1000 same electrons: Cherenkov photons I get at CsI No Shade: 19980, Shade 2.5cm: 12319, Shade 1.5cm: 12547

  6. So.. • I don’t think 40% loss is right. We might be screwed up something on geometry definition in PISA? • Sasha’s estimate was 3% loss, and would not change as long as height/spacing ratio holds. • This simple geometrical estimate should give correct answer to more than first order! • PISAEvent.root for each case are placed in the same directory • Also, the codes modified are placed here as well • Hbd.f, phnx.par, phenix.kumac • Welcome for help, comment and jump-in!
