Update 4/26/02: I have corrected the SNAKE description of the dipole entrance and exit fringe fields to give a more correct 1st order transverse matrix. The dispersive matrix, which was good already, is essentially unchanged. Transverse trajectory distributions at the VDC's should look much more like the real thing and acceptance effects from the dipole exit aperture should be improved. New functions reflecting the change can be found at:

CLICK HERE: for forward functions both left and right (the same _e_ and _h_ naming convention is used as before)

CLICK HERE: for Right (formerly Hadron) reverse functions

CLICK HERE: for Left (formerly Electron) reverse functions

Instructions for usage are the same as before (see below)

Update 10/12/01: error found in the dipole entrance functions in new_monte_trans.f

The error was such that x at the dipole entrance (returned from x_e_dent or x_h_dent) had the wrong sign. Because of the trapezoidal nature of the aperture at the dipole this makes a small error in the acceptance as determined by the dipole entrance aperture. new_monte_trans.f has been updated.

HRS Transfer Functions: (based on the John LeRose's SNAKE models of the spectrometers as of 7/20/99, updated 10/13/99, updated again 4/11/00)

n.b. Electron Arm reverse functions before 10/13/99 were slightly incorrect. The new ones will agree better with the forward going functions.

4/11/00: Forward functions have been updated to give improved x0 dependence. The old functions can still be found in the file monte_trans.f the new ones are in new_monte_trans.f (see below)

4/11/00: Preliminary forward functions for HRS with septum attached are now also available.

Units: all functions use meters, tangents of angles, and delta expressed as a dimensionless fraction.

Language: fortran

The Forward Going Transfer functions (target toward detectors) can be found in:

See notice above for location of newest and best functions.

~lerose/magnets/SNAKE/MUDIFI/monte-carlo/new_monte_trans.f (formerly monte_trans.f)

For spectrometer with septum attached see:

~lerose/magnets/SNAKE/MUDIFI/monte-carlo/septum_monte_trans.f

Their use is explained in the comments with the code. (domega.f in the same subdirectory is an example of how they are used.)

The Apertures:

Q1 exit is a circle of radius 0.1492 m (as measured by Makis)

Q3 entrance and exit are circles of radius 0.300 m

The dipole entrance and exit are trapezoids:

-0.40 m<x<0.40 m (+x is down) (this is a "soft" aperture in that it indicates the approximate end of the good field region but not necessarily any real physical object)

y=+-(0.125*(1-(1.25*x/8.40)) (smallest gap at positive x, x in m)

Remember the functions give you meters.


The Reverse Functions (detector to target) are in the following:

See notice above for location of newest and best functions.

For the electron arm the file is:

~lerose/magnets/SNAKE/MUDIFI/comm8_funcs.f

For the hadron arm:

~lerose/magnets/SNAKE/MUDIFI/hcomm8_f.f

Now a few words about reverse function usage.

In each file there are 5 fortran functions:

TXFIT(x,m)

delta(x,m)

theta(x,m)

phi(x,m)

y00(x,m)

Calling convention is as follows. x is an array in which x(1->5) are xf, thetaf, yf, phif, and x0 (the detector coordinates in the transport coordinate system and the vertical position of the beam at the target). For TXFIT m=1 for all others m=5.

n.b. For the reverse functions for the right and left hrs (4/26/02 above) there is no x0 dependence. For those reverse functions m=4.

Procedure:

Convert theta to a new orthogonalized theta' as follows:

theta'=theta-TXFIT(x,1)

Put the new theta' into your x array (or x(2)=x(2)-TXFIT(x,1) should work)

Then I think it's self-explanitory:

delta0 = delta(x,5)

theta0= theta(x,5)

phi0=phi(x,5)

y0=y00(x,5)
