“Realistic” configurations. Effects of bellows, width of “Tube”.

Beam pipe first section and vacuum chamber’s window effect on the STS performance

Any configuration has a weld 1x10 mm

Studied configurations

Some of “Ideal ” configurations.

Effects: cylinder-cone; Be-Al.

Al: window – scaling from VELO, cone – “simple” manufacturing.

li – range of a particle inside the pipeqi - its chargene – relative electron density

Total ionization losses and number of electrons are roughly proportional to IR

Cylinder is optimal with MF, cone – without MF (The same for 8 AGeV). No contradiction with the conclusions of HERAb and LHCb.

Clear trends for “ideal” configurations (the narrower the better), for “real” ones no big difference.

The narrower the better for “ideal” configurations, for “real” ones more narrow seems slightly better.

Vertex resolution much worse than expected from multiple scattering and not indicative.Thanks to I. Vassiliev for the basic analysis routine

STS with given layout works perfectly with any beam pipe. As any optimistic conclusion should be double checked. Probably for SIS-100, STS layout may be simplified and made cheaper. However, taking into account realistic STS simulation may change the answer!

Only S/B and mass resolution are somewhat sensitive to Al beam pipe.


Flange/window effects on RICH

Default cbmroot geometry: 1-st section of pipe

with Be window h0.1mm on the end

with flange 2.0x2.5cm on the end

with a weld 2.5x0.2cm on the end


Flange/window effects on RICH

The influence of the flange is almost imperceptible. There is a slight decrease of parameters when using Be window, while passing 20 or more ions. In general, when the number of ions no more than 20, the configuration of the window can be used.


The implementation into cbmroot package of spatial and angular distributions of ions incident to the target for realistic beam

simulation with collimators.

- The description of the ion beam by a Gaussian distribution (class FairPrimaryGenerator now) is not adequate; - More correct to describe the collimated beam by the product of a Gaussian distribution and a trapezium (symmetric now and more complex function if it is necessary in next amendment process); - The distributions for description of realistic beam emittance are done and will be implemented in next CBMROOT release after completion of testing. A similar smearing of the angular distribution is implemented too.

Stereo angle effects on STS performanceBig number of fakes is a big problem for track finding, especially for extending the algorithm to the segments with missed points. We looked at sensors with smaller stereo angles…

Stereo angle – between strips on the opposite sides of double side sensor.

Stereo angle effects on STS performance

Big number of fakes is a big problem for track finding, especially for extending the algorithm to the segments with missed points. We looked at sensors with smaller stereo angles….


Stereo angle effects on STS performance

SIS-100

For both SIS 100 and SIS 300, stereo angle of 6 ° is the best for track finding. Momentum resolution becomes worse bellow 6°. In simulations of short-lived particle reconstruction 8° is considered because technologically preferable (dm).

Sensors’ overlapping effects on STS performance (SIS-300)

Overlap is due to the guard rings but could be bigger due to geometrical reasons (Z between neighboring sensors up to 1 cm)

Study the influence of sensors’ overlapping on tracking system properties showed that the properties dependence of the overlap is sufficiently weak. Overlap does not represent a problem and allowed.


Conclusions

- Influence of shape and material of the beam pipe on the STS performance is studied. Pipe is considered as a composition of “window” and “tube”;

- A comprehensive study of the effect of the beam pipe’s first section and the vacuum chamber window on tracking system properties for central collisions of gold-gold at 25 AGeV (SIS-300) and 8 AGeV (SIS-100) was completed. For 8 AGeV only S/B and mass resolution are somewhat sensitive to Al beam pipe. It should be checked with more realistic STS;

- Decrease of the stereo angle may help to reduce number of fakes and improve track finding performance;

- Study the influence of sensors’ overlapping on tracking system properties showed that the properties dependence of the overlap is sufficiently weak. Overlap does not represent a problem and allowed.

- The influence of the flange/window between the first and the second sections of the beam pipe was studied;

- The distributions for description of realistic beam emittance are done and will be implemented in next CBMROOT release after completion of testing. A similar smearing of the angular distribution is implemented too.


Plans

- Tuning and adjustment of the realistic (i.e. including noises and clustering) STS Monte Carlo model for correct description of low energy secondaries generation and accounting for small energy releases in the sensors. This model is necessary for further design justification;

- Feasibility study of 8 degree stereo angle in silicon sensors. Realistic STS and track propagation to downstream detectors will be taken into account;

- Careful Monte Carlo justification will be done for reduction of the number of channels in the STS for SIS 100 by increasing the length of the sectors. This work will allow to save funds for STS construction without loss of the physical performance. However in such a scenario an upgrade of STS will be needed before operation at SIS300;

- The effects of the auxiliary equipment in the gap of the magnet on the performance of the STS will be studied. It is important for engineering of the service equipment for STS and the vertex detector;

- Feasibility study for the central part of the ECAL made of the tungsten based modules with small Moliere radius will be performed. This work is important for having maximum physical information from the compact start version of the ECAL. The work will include both simulation of the ECAL and building of the Prototype module;

- The design optimization and justification work for the RICH and downstream sections of the beam pipe will be continued.
