Particle Fluxes from Muon-Muon Collisions Sergei Striganov Fermilab Muon Collider Physics Workshop Fermilab November 10-12, 2009
Introduction • General feature of μ+μ- events (Pythia) • Background produced in interaction of particles from μ+μ- collisions with tungsten shielding (Pythia + MARS15) • Compare particle fluxes from μ+μ- collisions with machine background
Charged particle fluence (1/cm2) with tungsten shielding without tungsten shielding
Neutron fluence (1/cm2) with tungsten shielding without tungsten shielding
Energy spectra in tracker (+-46x46x5cm) with and without tungsten shielding
Events with heavy Higgs (300 GeV)“detectable” energy – 350 GeV
Energy spectra in tracker (+-46x46x5cm)Blue lines - from machine, red lins – Z0 events, green lines – Higgs events.
Charged hadron fluence.Blue points - from machine, red points – Z0 events, green points – Higgs events.
Electron/positron fluenceBlue points - from machine, red points – Z0 events, green points – Higgs events.
Muon fluenceBlue points - from machine, red points – Z0 events, green points – Higgs events.
Neutron fluence. Blue points - from machine (10-12 GeV), pink points – Z0 events (10-12 GeV),red points – Z0 events (10-4 GeV), green points – Higgs events (10-4 GeV).
Photon fluenceBlue points - from machine (10-12 GeV), pink points – Z0 events (10-12 GeV),red points – Z0 events (10-4 GeV), green points – Higgs events (10-4 GeV).
Conclusion • Interactions of particles created in μ+μ- collisions with tungsten shielding produce large photon/neutron background in tracker • Fluxes of particles coming from machine are much larger then fluxes of particles produced in μ+μ- collisions • More detailed study is needed to clarify question: is current level of machine background acceptable or additional efforts are essential
