Ii Design Concept and Geant Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Two MiniPlug calorimeters, designed to measure the energy and lateral position of particles in the (forward) pseudorapidity region of 3.6 < |η| < 5.2 of the CDF detector, have been recently installed as part of the Run II CDF upgrade at the Tevatron p̄p collider. They consist of lead/liquid scintillator read out by wavelength shifting fibers arranged in a pixel-type towerless geometry suitable for ‘calorimetric tracking’. The design concept, the prototype performance and the final design of the MiniPlugs are here described. A recent cosmic ray test resulted in a light yield of approximately 100 pe/MIP, which exceeds our design requirements.

CDF Detector Simulation Framework and Performance
The CDF detector simulation framework is integrated into an AC++ application used to process events in the CDF experiment. The simulation framework is based on the GEANT3 package. It holds the detector element geometry descriptions, allows configuration of digitizers at run-time and manages the generated data. The design is based on generic programming which allows for easy extension of the sim...

متن کاملThe Virtual Monte Carlo
The concept of Virtual Monte Carlo (VMC) has been developed by the ALICE Software Project to allow different Monte Carlo simulation programs to run without changing the user code, such as the geometry definition, the detector response simulation or input and output formats. Recently, the VMC classes have been integrated into the ROOT framework, and the other relevant packages have been separate...
متن کاملMonte Carlo transport codes for use in the space radiation environment
Geant4 [ref G1, ref G2] is a simulation toolkit written in C++ using Object-Oriented principles, and re-engineered from the Fortran-based Geant3. As of Geant 3.21, the Fortran code is officially no longer supported. Geant4 is developed and maintained by a world-wide collaboration including centers at CERN, SLAC, FNAL, KEK and others. The code is available without cost at http://geant4.cern.ch, ...
متن کاملEstimate of Large CZT Detector Absolute Efficiency
This paper presents a simulation of the spectroscopic performance of two large CZT coplanar detectors, 1.5 1.5 cm area and 1.0 cm thick, with coplanar anodes. A code, based on the GEANT libraries and classical Monte Carlo sampling, was developed to simulate experimental scenarios. This code adapts the GEANT capabilities for simulating complex detection systems for spectroscopic studies. Detecto...
