  3. Objectives • To find an optimum design of BGO and passive collimator regarding to background. • Evaluate the background level with fluorescence X-rays and cosmic X-ray/gamma-ray background (here we call “primary gamma”) taken into account. PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  4. Simulated Geometry “fixed” parameters • Thickness of fast scint. = 2.63cm • (D = 2.23cm) • W (thickness of slow scint.) = 0.2cm • L1 (slow scint. length) = 60cm • L2 (fast scint. length) = 20cm • Thickness of btm BGO = 2.68cm • Gap between BGOs = 0.5cm • (including BaSo4 eflector) • # of units = 217 (geometrical area of fast scint. not covered by slow scint. = 934.4 cm2) parameters studied here • Length of btm BGO = 3/4/5cm • (not tapered in simulator for simplicity) • Thickness of side Anti BGO = 3/4/5cm • Length of side Anti BGO = 60/70/80cm • Collimator material = Sn/Pb • single/dual layer collimator PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  5. Simulation Condition • The same Crab spectrum as that used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation was simulated here. That is, • E-2.1 spectrum with 100mCrab intensity, 20-200keV (300.8 c/s/m2) • 100% polarized, 6h exposure • Attenuation by air of 4g/cm2 (atmospheric depth in zenith direction is ~3g/cm2 and that in line-of-sight direction is 4g/cm2) • Atmospheric downward/upward gamma and cosmic X-ray/gamma-ray background gamma (primary gamma) spectra for GLAST BFEM simulation were used as background. • Use Geant4 ver5.1 with PoGO-fix for polarized Compton scattering. PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  6. Detector Resopnses • The same detector responses as those used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation • If there is a hit in slow/anti/btm scintillators, event is rejected. (Threshold is 3 keV for anti/btm BGO and 30 keV for slow scintillator. Note that the position dependence has not taken into account yet.). Energy smearing and poisson fluctuation are not taken into account yet for veto scintillators. • Assumed detector resposes: • 0.5 photo-electron/keV • fluctuated by poisson distribution • smeared by gaussian of sigma=0.5 keV (PMT energy resolution) • minimum hit threshold after three steps above is 3 keV PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  7. Event Analysis • The same as those of Hiro’s EGS4 Simulation • Use events in which two or three fast scintillators detected a hit. • The largest energy deposit is considered to be photo absorption • The second largest energy deposit is considered to be Compton scattering. • Smallest energy deposit (in case of three scintillators with hit) is ignored. • Smear azimuth angle distribution with Hiro’s resolution function. • No event selection on compton kinematics PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  8. Background gamma-ray spectra atmospheric downward gamma (vertical) primary gamma atmospheric upward gamma (vertical) • Atmospheric gamma spectral models are for Palestine, Texas. • We have no data for atmospheric downward gamma below 1MeV, where primary gamma could be dominant. PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  9. Side BGO Length • 100mCrab vs. background spectrum • Passive collimator: Sn 100um • Side/Bottom BGO thickness: 3cm atmospheric downward gamma atmospheric upward gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) BG due to atmospheric gamma, Side BGO length=60cm/70cm/80cm • No sinificant difference in summed BG below 40keV and above 100keV • Longer BGO reduces the background in 50-100 keV. (Pb collimator can also do. See p. 11) PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  10. Side/Bottom BGO Thickness • 100mCrab vs. background spectrum • Passive collimator: Sn 100um • Side BGO length: 60cm atmospheric downward gamma atmospheric upward gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) BG due to atmospheric gamma, Side/Btm BGO thicknss=3cm/4cm/5cm • No sinificant difference in summed BG below 70 keV PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  11. Collimator Material • 100mCrab vs. background spectrum • Side BGO length: 60cm • Side/Btm BGO thickness: 3cm • Standard process (no fluorescence X-ray) atmospheric downward gamma primary gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) atmospheric upward gamma BG due to gamma, Collimator = Pb 50um/Sn100 um • Pb collimator reduces summed BG above 50 keV PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  12. Effect of Fluorescence X-ray • 100mCrab vs. background spectrum • Side BGO length: 60cm • Side/Btm BGO thickness: 3cm • Low energy process (fluorescence X-ray) atmospheric downward gamma primary gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) atmospheric upward gamma BG due to gamma, Collimator = Pb 50um/Sn100 um • BG below 30 keV for Pb collimator is worse than that for Sn collimator, due to fluorescence X-rays from Pb. PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  13. Dual Layer Collimator (1) • Due to fluorescence X-rays, BG level for Pb collimator becomes higher than that for Sn collimator below 30keV. • Dual layer collimator could reduce the BG; outer collimator (Pb) eliminates contamination from primary gammas and downward atmospheric gammas, and inner collimator (Sn) eliminates fluorescence X-rays from Pb collimator. • We tested two configurations. The idea of shortened Pb collimator is, to make the pass length in Sn collimator long enough to absorb fluorescent X-rays from Pb. normal configuration shortened Pb collimator a: long pass length Pb collimator (50um, 50cm) Sn collimator (50um, 60cm) Pb collimator (50um, 60cm) Sn collimator (50um, 60cm) b: short pass length Fast/slow scintillator PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  14. Dual Layer Collimator (2) • BGO configuration is the same as p.12 atmospheric downward gamma primary gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) atmospheric upward gamma BG due to gamma, Pb collimator, standard process(solid line) lowE process(dotted line) Dual layer collimator, normal configuration shortened Pb collimator • Dual collimator reduces BG below 30 keV. No significant difference in summed BG between normal configuration and shortened Pb collimator below 60 keV. (see next) PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  15. Expected BG (1) • No significant difference among Sn and dual layer collimators below 60 keV. • Dual collimator with shortened Pb gives the lowest BG in high energy. primary gamma + downward/upward atmospheric gamma 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) • BG due to gamma, • Pb 50um/60cm • Sn 100um/60cm • Pb 50um/60cm + Sn 50um/60cm • Pb 50um/50cm + Sn 50um/60cm PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  16. Expected BG (2) Contribution of each component is shown here. Shortened Pb collimator with Sn collimator inside 100mCrab (incident) 100mCrab (detected) • BG due to gamma, • Total • primary gamma • atmospheric downward gamma • atmospheric upward gamma PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  17. Summary • BG dependence on BGO length/thickness and collimator configuration are studied. • 3 components of gamma-ray background (primary, atmospheric downward/upward) and fluorescence X-rays are taken into account. • Longer side BGO reduces BG above 50 keV (p.9). Pb collimator instead of Sn can also do this. (p.11) • Thicker side/bottom BGO reduces BG above 80 keV. (p.10) • Dual layer collimator with shortened Pb gives the lowest BG. Below 60keV, there is no significant difference among Sn collimator and dual collimators (normal configuration and shortened Pb). (pp.11-15) PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt

  18. Appendix: Energy of incident gamma which contribute to BG • Energy distribution of incident gamma clearly shows the process how they contribute to BG. • Pb collimator of 50um is assumed here atmospheric downward gamma primary gamma 2 or 3 fast scintillators have a hit atmospheric upward gamma Events that contribute BG • Contamination in FOV. • Penetrate BGO without interaction, hit fast scintillators and absorbed by collimator.
