Studies for a silicon detector in a e/A colliderBenedetto Di Ruzza BNL EIC Task Force meeting August 28th 2014
outline • Momentum resolution studies for a silicon detector in a eRHIC collider using the EICRoot framework. • Some consideration on bremsstrahlung for electron in silicon. • The ITS Alice upgrade.
Momentum resolution studies Momentum resolution studies performed using a simple detector model in the EICRoot framework
Momentum resolution studies Detector model: barrel Electron energies: 5, 15 and 20 GeV Eta : 0, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 Forward and Rear:
Momentum resolution studies In each configuration performed the simulation of 2000 events.
Momentum resolution studies Crystal ball function “like” used in the fit fit:
Momentum resolution studies Crystal ball function like function used in the fit: P0= alpha, P1= n; P2= mean, P3= sigma, P4=N
Momentum resolution studies Ratio tail/all events
Still to do: • Repeat the fit with a crystal ball function • change particles and detector design
electron bremsstrahlung in Si Plot Energy loss in lead Critical energy From PDG 2013 Si Z=14
electron bremsstrahlung in Si Some calculation with X0 =9.36 cm Fraction of energy loss by electrons for bremsstrahlung For 300 µm silicon: exp -(0.03/9.36)=0.0032 Other calculation: using the Bremsstrahlung energy spectrum
electron bremsstrahlung in Si Some calculation with X0 =9.36 cm (thanks to Sasha Bazilevsky for useful discussions) Fraction of energy loss by electrons for bremsstrahlung: Numerical calculation using bremsstrahlung gamma spectrum from PDG: Energy (Gev) Number of gamma Ratio of Integral over all spectrum/incoming energy = 0.0032
