BESIII TOF Simulation Deng Ziyan Jan 10-12, 2006 BESIII Collaboration Meeting
Outline • TOF geometry • Geant4 hits recording • Digitization based on hits • Light production • Light propagation • PMT response • Discrimination
Barrel TOF End-cap TOF EMC TOF Geometry • Dimensions and materials same as designed • Scintillator (EJ200) • Wrapping materials (Al + PVF) • PMT (R5924) barrel end-cap
Geant4 Hits • Geant4 hits recorded at discrete steps along track • Global time, step time, position, direction • scintillator ID, energy loss… hit 0.8 GeV/c electron perpendicular incidence
Digitization based on hits Geant4 Get hit information: energy loss, time, position Scintillator Scintillator light emission Light propagation PMT Photoelectrons production Signal pulse generation Discriminator output TDC and ADC Digitization
Simulation of Light Emission • Light uniformly emitted along step • Isotropic angular distribution • Number of photons proportional to energy loss • Emission time rise time = 0.9 ns
Collection Factors (1) Light atttenuation inscintillator (3) Response of incident angle at PMT front glass (2) Mismatch between scintillator and PMT Average: 66% 40%
Collection Factors Quantum efficiency of PMT photocathode (4) (5) Collection factor of PMT dynode:60% number of generated photoelectrons 20%
Time Distribution time of photoelectrons
PMT Response time response function for single photoelectron signal rise time=2.5ns PMT signal pulse MeanPulseHeight=50mv
LT TDC Preamplifier and Discriminator Preamplifier: TDC and ADC MeanPulseHeight=500mv electronic noise added rise time:4ns low threshold (LT) = 50mv high threshold (HT)= 250mv
Time Walk before T-Q correction after T-Q correction 0.8GeV electron, perpendicular incidence
Effective speed Veff = 17.7 cm/ns Intrinsic time resolution at z=0 : 85 ps beam test result Effective attenuation length λ= 318cm
More to do • Add uncertainty from start point • start position • start time t0 • More research on end-cap TOF digitization
The end Thanks!
