T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update SHMS Optics Configuration Need charged particle detection with momenta up to the beam energy (11 GeV) at forward angles down to 5.5° even with HMS at small angles Most reasonable configuration: HBQQQD HBQ1Q2Q3DIPOLE Focal Plane Deflection= 18.4 ° Deflection=3 °

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update Collimator reduces uncertainties due to optics Event loss at Q1 due to geometric effects Acceptance at dipole entrance depends on aperture and δ –Events at negative δ are focused more +10% < δ < +15% Collimator can eliminate events that would be lost inside the dipole –Reduces model dependent systematic uncertainty Q1Q1 Q2Q2 Q3Q3 D

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update HMS collimator/slit system Sieve slit –0.508 cm holes in 7 (9) columns at cm (2.540 cm) intervals in the horizontal (vertical) direction –Center of sieve slit at 168 cm from target center –No holes at / cm and cm/ cm for orientation checks –Outermost holes are at ± cm (±60.5 mr) Octagonal collimators –6.35 cm thick heavymet (90% W, 10% CuNi) HMS Collimator box Q1 Q2 Q3 D

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update SHMS collimator/sieve system Design will be octagonal shape Dimensions depend on location in z Q1Q2Q3HBD Possible sieve collimator locations y x Sieve collimator in front of HB: standard optics calibration may be complicated –Aperture defining slits: best location in front of HB Sieve collimator in front of Q1: optics modeling straightforward, but have to assume that perturbations due to HB are small

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update Place SHMS collimator after HB No room before HB for collimator box with collimator(s) and sieve slit Assume front of collimator is at 82 cm after the HB center or at 2.58 m from the pivot –Collimator is then ±0.055*258=±14.2 cm high and ±0.030*258=±7.7 cm wide HBQ1 SHMS collimator box Assume heavymet material for ±5cm at least need 40cm by 25cm per collimator

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update Slit Box Design Limitations: Width SHMS HMS Q1 HB Q2 35-cm wide slit box is possible –Move horizontally from SHMS left to beam axis –Mechanical (surveyed) stop at SHMS right Guiding rods (w/ tooling balls) on top and bottom –Two options: guiding rods in the back or to sides Slit box Guiding rod options:

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update SHMS Slit Box in Hall C Front of slit box is 80 cm after the HB center, or at 2.56 m from target center –Sufficiently far away from HB to have minimum stray field Slit box fits between HB and Q1

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update SHMS sieve slit design Size of sieve holes: 3 mrad –For comparison: HMS sieve holes diameter is 0.504cm (3 mrad) Further studies of the focal plane patterns will determine the optimal design for optics reconstruction z=120cmz=258cm Standard calibrations of SHMS with the sieve before Q1 possible –Preliminary simulations show small distortions of mid-plane symmetry FP pattern of sieve before HB shows strong delta dependence of the bending

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update Additional Sieve Slit before HB Assume front of sieve slit is 56 cm in front of HB center or at 1.20 m from the pivot –Need to cover at least ±0.055*120cm=±6.6 cm high and ±0.030*120cm=±3.6cm wide for a point target Assume heavymet material for ± 5 cm at least at the edges –Assume 30 cm wide by 25 cm high sieve (note: HB gap is 35cm by 36 cm) –Weighs about 40 kg, so movable by hand Q1HB Special calibration sieve slit 120 cm from target center

T. Horn, SHMS Optics Update Bender Q1’ Target HMS Q1 HMS Q2 Beamline Additional studies for understanding the optical properties of the SHMS including HB –Look how HB distorts the “image” of a collimator or sieve slit in front of it. –How does an entrance octogonal look like in position and angle space at the planned location at the entrance of Q1 – can easily be done using HB TOSCA Next Steps Short report on simulation results Additional techniques for calibration techniques –Possibilities of H(e,e’p) for calibrations especially the HB part Optimization of the distance between and the size of the Q1 sieve holes and the special calibration sieve slit before HB
