SM Polarizer andGeometry Factors Christopher Crawford University of Tennessee NPDG Collaboration Meeting 2007-02-23
Outline SM Polarizer McStas model ntuple chopper, SF, target 3He polarizer SM bender comparisons transmission polarization figure of merit PPP Analysis methods of asymmetry extraction systematic errors in geometry correcting asymmetry via table motion geometry factors from Monte Carlo table motion data
McStas Simulations active components source, ntuple guides, SM polarizer passive components chopper, collimators 3He cell, RFSF, LH2
PPP +’s • before and after polarimetry • investigate effect of RFSF, etc • can scan P(x,y) • don’t need high polarization / intensity • can use small 3Hecell • compatible with SM polarizer
Physics Analysis, Table Motion, and Geometry Factors • Methods of asymmetry extraction • weighted average • effect of detector pairing • least squares fit • Sources of systematic errors • table misalignment (rotation, translation) • inhomogeneous detector efficiency • detector efficiency asymmetry • Methods of table motion correction • correct AV, AH mixing using identical extraction algorithm with table motion; validate method using MC • tune MC to table motion, calculate geometry factors • naïve geometry factors from table motion, add corrections by MC • MC simulation methods • LH2 table motion data
Effect of Pairing Detectors • weighted average of asymmetries: • moral: pair-wise asymmetry equivalentto weighted average of single detector asym.
MC Calculation of Geom. Factors • naïve MC (no physics) • M.G., C.C. • 2-step McStas • R.M. • McStas + ptrac file • A.S. • McStas + modified tally • C.C.
