3 Balloon Flight for the GLAST eXternal Gamma-ray Target(XGT) Objectives a.Validate the LAT design at the single tower level b.Show the ability to take data in a space-like environment c.Collect cosmic-ray events to be used for a background database for the GLAST satellite. TKR (inside) ACD CAL Balloon Flight Engineering Model (BFEM) August 04, Texas ~100000events via telemetry We have developed a cosmic- ray generator and an instrument simulator based on Geant4 (2.0)

5 Geant4 Simulator for the GLAST Balloon Flight (2) Physics process (example#4) General process (decay) Electromagnetic process (ionization, multiple scattering, photoelectric effect, compton scattering, pair creation, bremsstrahlung, annihilation) Hadronic process elastic scattering, inelastic scattering Cutoff length 0.4mm(e-), 0.1mm(others) Simulation results text files We ran typically 1M events for each particle type, and ~1% of them cause trigger. IRF file (text file) ROOT file Digitization Apply threshold position->strip # conversion

6 Event selection Hit in any of ACD tiles Single track Compare the reconstructed direction between data and simulation Angular distribution of charged particles Real Data Simulation proton e-/e+ gamma muon We modeled the angular distribution and flux(<=20%) of charged particles well. downward90 degree

7 Hits in each layer for “charged” events (deposit energy in ACD) CALTop of TKR proton e-/e+ gamma muon Real Data Simulation (flux is increased by 20%) Simulation The G4 BFEM simulator and cosmic-ray generators well reproduced hits in TKR (20% difference could be explained by He and the flux uncertainty.) small discrepancy is seen in layers near the CAL. Trigger rate of “charged” events data: ~440Hz simulation: ~350Hz

8 Hits in each layer for “neutral” particles CALTop of TKR proton e-/e+ gamma muon Real Data Simulation Discrepancy is seen in upper layers in the TKR (gamma- ray spectrum? angular distribution? Interaction?). Further study is required. Trigger rate of “neutral” events data: ~55Hz simulation: ~50Hz

9 Summary We have performed the GLAST Balloon Experiment in August 4, 2001 at Palestine Texas. For this experiment, we have developed cosmic-ray generators and an instrument simulator based on Geant4. Trigger rate (charged/neutral events) and angular distribution (charged events) are well reproduced by the Geant4 BFEM simulator. Some discrepancies are seen in Hit Distribution in TKR (layers near the CAL in charged events and upper layers in neutral events). We still need to continue the study. CAL will be investigated in future.
