2 Simulation Strategy GEANT4 Experimental set-up Beam (E,particle,x,y,x’,y’) Points (E depositions in gas gap: x,y,z) RPC response simulation Measured signal Q distribution Hits DATA Hits Comparison Parameters Exponential slope a Threshold T Distance cut d cut Charge adjustment Q 0 With muons – tune a, T, (d cut ), and Q 0 With positrons – tune d cut Pions – no additional tuning

3 RPC_sim Input: ASCII file -1 IL -1 -1 -1 Nevt = 1 LN x y … -1 IL -1 -1 -1 Nevt = 2 LN x y … Input: ASCII file -1 IL -1 -1 -1 Nevt = 1 LN x y … -1 IL -1 -1 -1 Nevt = 2 LN x y … Language: Fortran 77 276 lines of code (I think it is well documented) Output: ASCII file EV IL -1 -1 EV x y LN … EV IL -1 -1 EV x y LN … Output: ASCII file EV IL -1 -1 EV x y LN … EV IL -1 -1 EV x y LN … Same format as ASCII output of event builder IL … true interaction layer LN … layer number EV … event number GEANT4RPC_sim

4 RPC_sim: Step I Discard close-by points RPCs do not generate multiple avalanches very close by Check distance d between all pairs of points If d < dist_cut, discard one of the points

5 Generated charge distributions for different HV settings Measured charge distribution for HV = 6.2 kV RPC_sim: Step II Generate overall charge Fit to y = α (x-2900) β e - γ(x-2900) Allow for shift of Q spectrum by Q 0

6 RPC_sim: Step III Distribute charge over pads Measured charge distribution as function of y in the pick-up plane D.Underwood et al. Throw 10,000 points in x,y plane within radius R 0 of avalanche Calculate charge Q(r) Sum up charge on 1 x 1 cm 2 pads Assume exponential dependence on distance from avalanche Cross check: sum of charges on pads Exponential with slope a

7 RPC_sim: Step IV Identify hits Pad identified as hit if Q pad > T Note: This procedure reproduces the average efficiency and pad multiplicity of RPCs for single tracks (muons) It deals properly with the overlap of avalanches within a shower or from different particles It does not deal with the effect of particles crossing the chambers at an angle (we know that the efficiency (pad multiplicity) is slightly (somewhat) dependent on the angle of incidence).

8 RPC_sim: Tuning I Location and angle of particles Procedure Cluster hits in each layer Fit straight line to clusters Compare MC and data: Clusters in first layer Slopes of straight lines Adjust MC to reproduce data Simulation Data

9 RPC_sim: Tuning II Tune parameters Q 0, a, and T Broadband muons from FNAL test beam (with 3 m Fe blocker) Tune slope a threshold T charge adjustment Q 0 (Muon data not sensitive to dist_cut) → reproduce the distributions of the sum of hits and hits/layer Data Simulation

10 RPC_sim: Tuning III Tune parameter dist_cut Adjust dist_cut to reproduce Σ hits for 4 GeV positrons 8 GeV Positrons

11 RPC_sim: Tuning IV Cross – check with pions Fit to 2 components - Pions (from MC) - Positrons (from MC) Note MC curves = absolute predictions, apart from general scaling due to efficiency problems (rate) at 16 GeV (-9%)

12 RPC_sim: Predictions I Response curves 107 layers (minimal leakage) Each 1.5 x 1.5 m 2 Reasonable Gaussian fits for E > 2 GeV

13 Discontinuity at E ~ 8 GeV (surprising, changes with physics list) Non-linearity above E ~ 20 GeV (saturation) Resolution ~ 58%/√E(GeV) (for E < 28 GeV) Resolution degrades above 28 GeV (saturation) Resolution of 1m 3 with containment cut somewhat better than for extended calorimeter RPC_sim: Predictions II Linearity and resolution

14 Efficiency and pad multiplicity have only minor effect on resolution (Large ε /small μ might be desirable for PFAs) However values need to be known (calibration) Note: Linear calibration corrections for ε, μ will work (P 1 ~ 0) RPC_sim: Predictions III Dependence on ε and μ

15 Discontinuity seems to move from 8 to 4 GeV Discontinuity due to transition in hadron showering models These physics lists obsolete by now RPC_sim: Predictions IV Different physics lists

16 60 GeV Pions GEANT4 simulation + RPC response simulation RPC_sim: Predictions V Event displays
