Monte-Carlo Simulation for an Aerogel Čerenkov Counter
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed a Monte-Carlo simulation code for an aerogel Čerenkov Counter which is operated under a strong magnetic field such as 1.5T. This code consists of two parts: photon transportation inside aerogel tiles, and one-dimensional amplification in a fine-mesh photomultiplier tube. It simulates the output photoelectron yields as accurately as 5% with only a single free parameter. This code is applied to simulations for a B-Factory particle-identification system.

Prototype aerogel Čerenkov counter for kaon/pion separation∗
For hypernuclear experiments, which are currently performed at GSI (HypHI) or proposed for FAIR (PANDA) and for MAMI (A1), an unambiguous kaon identification is essential. An aerogel Čerenkov counter was designed for the KAOS spectrometer at the Mainz Microtron MAMI for the discrimination between kaons and pions of momenta p ≥ 1GeV/c. Before the construction of the final detector a smaller prot...

This paper describes the development of a threshold type aerogel Čerenkov counter with a large sensitive area of 0.6m to be carried onboard the BESS rigidity spectrometer to detect cosmic-ray antiprotons. The design incorporates a large diffusion box containing 46 finemesh photomultipliers, with special attention being paid to achieving good performance under a magnetic field and providing suff...
متن کاملGrand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulation of Nitrogen Adsorption in a Silica Aerogel Model
In this paper, the Diffusion Limited Cluster Aggregation (DLCA) method is employed to reconstruct the three-dimensional network of silica aerogel. Then, simulation of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K in silica aerogel is conducted by the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method. To reduce the computational cost and guarantee accuracy, a continuous-discrete hybrid potential model, as well as an adso...
متن کاملA Water Čerenkov Calorimeter as the Next Generation Neutrino Detector
We propose here a large homogeneous calorimeter as the next generation neutrino detector for ν factories and/or conventional ν beams. The active media is chosen to be water for obvious economical reasons. The Čerenkov light produced in water is sufficient to have good energy resolution, and the pattern recognition is realized by a modular water tank structure. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrat...
متن کاملStudy on effect of detector type in estimating buildup factor of gamma-rays by monte carlo simulation based on variance reduction
This paper presents the study on the effect of detector type in estimating gamma rays buildup factor. In this regard, the flux buildup factors of gamma rays emitted by an isotropic point 60Co source in mean energy 1.253 MeV was evaluated after passing through the Pb, W, Zn, and Ti sample in thickness of 1-5 cm by MCNPX. Four common detector types in simulation of measurement was defined to esti...
