Muon simulations based on a realistic CBM muon detector system∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The actual design of the muon detector system consists of 6 hadron absorber layers (iron plates of thickness 20, 20, 20, 30, 35, 100 cm) and 15-18 gaseous tracking chambers located in triplets behind each iron slab. The geometry of the muon system is presented in figure 1: the side view of the full system (top), the side wiew of one gap with detector layers (bottom left), and the side view of one detector layer with detector moduls (bottom right). The modular design of the muon system was described in detail in [2].

Imaging and identifying materials with high atomic numbers and densities, especially radioactive materials, is one of the issues that have been especially considered in recent years. Due to some limitations in conventional and old imaging techniques, finding an alternative method is very important. The cosmic muons with an infinite source are one of the sources that have been recently studied f...
متن کاملPossible start version of the CBM muon detector system at SIS100
The CBM muon detection system (MuCh) was optimized for nucleus-nucleus collisions at SIS300 beam energies (see [1]). We have investigated the possibility to simplify the setup for measurements of J/ψ mesons in protonnucleus collisions at SIS100 beam energies. Therefore, the performance of the muon detection system has been studied as function of the number of the detector stations for J/ψ measu...

The emission of lepton pairs out of the hot and dense collision zone of heavy ion reactions is a promising probe to study the electromagnetic structure of hadrons under extreme conditions. The reconstruction of vector mesons (ρ, ω, φ, J/ψ, ψ) is one of the prime tasks of the CBM experiment. To perform such a study using a dimuon decay mode, a muon system consisting of a set of absorbers and det...

The CBM muon detection system is designed to measure muon pairs from the decay of vector mesons (ρ, ω, φ, J/ψ) produced in heavy-ion collisions. At FAIR energies the muon momenta can be rather low, and, therefore, we developed a muon detection concept which a dynamical definition of absorber thickness according to the muon momentum. The actual design of the muon detector system consists of 6 ha...

New data on the electron/muon ratio measured by the KASCADE extensive air shower experiment are presented. This ratio has been proven to be an important parameter for the determination of the mass of the primary particle. The electron and muon detector responses and reconstruction accuracies of the shower parameters have been studied in detailed simulations. Due to the extended lateral distribu...
