Rich Detector for LHCb
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This example is intended to simulate the TestBeam Setup of the Rich detector
|
|
at the LHCb to test the performance of the aerogel radiator.
|
|
The goal of the Rich is the proper identification of charged particles
|
|
in a momentum range of 1-150 GeV/c and to assist in the separation of
|
|
signal and background.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
It consists on 2 detector; RICH1, RICH2 which have to cover
|
|
the full LHCb momentum range:
|
|
|
|
RICH1: Aerogel 2 to 10 GeV/c
|
|
C4F10 < 70 GeV/c
|
|
|
|
RICH2: CF4 < 150 GeV/c
|
|
|
|
|
|
The geometry (defined inside RichDetectorConstruction class) consists of
|
|
4 Hpd, a target containing the aerogel and a spherical mirror.
|
|
The TestbeamSetUp is related to changes in teils, distances between elements
|
|
of the testbeam and types. All the possible configurations are considered
|
|
by a loop inside the MaterialParameters class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. AN EVENT: THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The primary kinematic consists of a single charge particle (normally pions)
|
|
which is sent towards the target producing a rain of photons reflected and
|
|
focused by the spherical mirrors and recolected after in the Hpd.
|
|
|
|
The aim of the testbeam is to perform resolutions measurements with
|
|
and without the aerogel to probe the improvement of its use. Comparisons
|
|
between simulation and data are performed to determine the angle defined
|
|
between the simmetry axis of the system (axis z) and the distance to the
|
|
interaction point of the produced photons in the Hpd.
|
|
|
|
The information related to type of particles to be sent, their energy
|
|
and directions is included inside the PrimaryGeneratorAction class.
|
|
These parameters can be changed interactively using an extern macro
|
|
(run1.mac). It is recomended the use of such macro for changes because
|
|
it avoids further compilations.
|
|
|
|
A RUN is a set of events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. VISUALIZATION
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The Visualization manager is set in the main().
|
|
The Initialisation of the drawing is already defined in run1.mac.
|
|
The example is prepared to use any other visualization packages which
|
|
can be defined in such macro or inside RichTbVis0.mac. Before running
|
|
the events, the visualization must be initialized by:
|
|
|
|
> /control/execute/RichTbVis0.mac
|
|
|
|
The detector has longitudinal view of the geometry as default.
|
|
|
|
The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of the run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. PHYSICS DEMO
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The particles type and physics processes which will be available in
|
|
this example are set in PhysicsList class.
|
|
|
|
In addition a built-in interactive command (process/inactivate proname)
|
|
allows to activate/inactivatethe processes one by one.
|
|
|
|
5. HOW TO START?
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- compile and link to generate an executable
|
|
% cd geant4/examples/advanced/Rich/
|
|
% gmake
|
|
|
|
- execute the program in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|
% RichTbSim run1.mac
|
|
|
|
- execute tests in 'interactive mode'
|
|
% RichTbSim
|
|
.....
|
|
|
|
Idle> type your commands
|
|
.....
|
|
Idle> exit
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. HISTOGRAMS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This example produces 7 histograms (saved as rich.his generated automatically
|
|
during the running time) which illustrate the final state of the most important
|
|
information of the example:
|
|
|
|
histo1 --> Number of Photon Hits per Track
|
|
histo2 --> Number of Photons before Mirror
|
|
histo3 --> WaveLength of Photons before Mirror
|
|
histo4 --> WaveLength of Photons after Mirror
|
|
histo5 --> Cherekov Angle at roduction all angles
|
|
histo6 --> Z of the Photon Emission Point
|
|
histo7 --> Cherenkov Ring Radius
|
|
|
|
See their definition on AnalysisManager.
|
|
|
|
Note that histograms are disabled via the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. USING THE LAST ANAPHE IMPLEMENTATION OF AIDA HISTOGRAMS
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to use the new Anaphe implementation of the AIDA interfaces
|
|
prepare some environment variables by source-ing one of the following
|
|
startup scripts:
|
|
|
|
(THIS EXAMPLE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND TESTED WITH THE gcc-2.95.5 COMPILER)
|
|
|
|
o Setup the environment variable: G4ANALYSIS_USE 1
|
|
o setenv PATH ${PATH}:/afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/specific/redhat73/gcc-2.95.2/5.0.5/bin
|
|
o source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/share/LHCXX/5.0.5/install/sharedstart.csh
|
|
o ln -s /afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/share/LHCXX/5.0.5/scripts/* ~/bin/ (this has
|
|
to be done only once)
|
|
|
|
After this, you will have access to the last 'aida-config' command
|
|
which is used in the GNUmakefile. |
