Study of SHMS resolution

Using the following setup for SHMS single arm MC

• 2 GeV , 20 deg scattered electrons
  • Reconstruction of tracks in the focal plane assumed 200 microns resolution.
  • LH2 target with 20cm length. Assume beer can with radius of 3.37cm and wall thickness in 0.005in Al.
  • 16 mil Al scattering chamber window (X0=8.89cm, frac rad len = 0.46%) followed by 15 cm air (X0=30420cm, frac rad len =0.05%)
  • Two options for for spectrometer entrance window
    • 15 mil Kevlar (X0=74.6cm) and 5 mil Mylar (X0=28.7cm)
    • 0.02inches of Aluminum (Frac Rad len = 0.57%)
  • Two options for spectrometer exit window,
    • 15 mil Kevlar, 5 mil Mylar (use 20 mil,X0=53.3, Frac Rad len = 0.095%)
    • 0.02inches of Aluminum (Frac Rad len = 0.57%)
  • Two options in Hut when AR/Neon Cerenkov is removed
    • Vacuum pipe so the the spectrometer exit window is moved to location of Cerenkov exit window
    • Helium bag. The spectrometer exit window is located in front of Cerenkov entrance, but the Cerenkov is replaced by a helium bag. Assume the entrance and exit of helium bag is aluminized mylar.
      • Each window is 0.010 inches mylar (Frac Rad len = 0.089%) and 3x10-4 cm aluminum (Frac Rad len = 0.03%).
      • Filled with helium ( Radlen = 754560 cm, Frac Rad len = 0.03%).
  • Drift through air until drift chamber 1 (Frac Rad len = 0.06%).
  • Chamber 1 entrance foil, 1 mil of Mylar (Frac Rad len = 0.009%) ( ignore 1000 Angstrom aluminum)
  • Drift through 1/8 inch of Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm (Frac Rad len = 0.002%)
  • Scattering in drift chamber, for each plane
    • Effective cathode plane, 1 mil Kapton ( Radlen = 28.6 cm, Frac Rad len = 0.009%).
    • Drift through 1/8 inch of Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm (Frac Rad len = 0.002%)
    • Effective wire plane, 25 micron W + 100 micron Be/Cu
    • Fill hit position for plane
    • Drift through Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm
  • Chamber 1 exit foil, 1 mil of Mylar
  • Drift through air until drift chamber 2
  • Chamber 1 entrance foil, 1 mil of Mylar (Frac Rad len = 0.009%) ( ignore 1000 Angstrom aluminum)
  • Drift through 1/8 inch of Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm (Frac Rad len = 0.002%)
  • Scattering in drift chamber, for each plane
    • Effective cathode plane, 1 mil Kapton ( Radlen = cm, Frac Rad len = 0.0%).
    • Drift through 1/8 inch of Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm (Frac Rad len = 0.002%)
    • Effective wire plane, 25 micron W + 100 micron Be/Cu
    • Fill hit position for plane
    • Drift through Chamber gas, 50/50 ethane/argon with Rad Len = 16700.0cm
  • Chamber 1 exit foil, 1 mil of Mylar
