LYCCA Simulation Update New Lycca0 geometry implemented (geometry code courtesy of Lund) TOF timing started by Diamond detector at the target position, stopped by Si detectors

Titanium Gated TOF vs Energy A σ (mb) At 2m the mass separation is better than the Co case but still a little dirty At 3m the separation is approaching an ideal case

New FRS Detector Signals New version now contains all of the signals from the FRS tracking detectors as well as particle properties immediately before the secondary target

By including signals from the FRS detectors as one would have in a real experiment the simulation allows real data analysis techniques to be used to investigate the correlations between various detector signals Analysis with simulated data Si detector (x,y) position spectra a) For all good Si & CsI events b) same as a) but now with a gate on SC41 left side (x > -100 & x < 0) A small correlation is evident from the resulting spectra
