Baffles Design

Designing baffles from ray traces requires GEMC runs without baffles, but detectors at the baffle z positions.


Fitting trajectory paths
CLEO Baffle openings (before introduction of wedge)

We define as fixed number of blocks which expand over a radius that will accept the full angular range from the whole target. Each block then has a range in phi, which we fit shown in the figture.

Designing baffle openings

These are then considered, for each block over all baffles, to carve out an opening which does not allow particles below a momentum from making it through. There is a maximum opening which is defined from the number of sectors, along with a minimum "dead zone" which prevents photons.

First order efficiency curves

The efficiency can be estimated by considering the simple geometric arguments above, the two defining low and high momenta <math>p_{l}</math> and <math>p_{h}</math>, a maximum efficiency based on opening width (based on <math>p_{h}</math>) and number of sectors <math>n_{s}</math>, and a constant proportional to the field integral, <math>c_{Bdl}</math>.

The overall maximum efficiency is

<math>\epsilon_{max} = \frac{c_{Bdl} n_s}{2\pi p_{h}}</math>

Using one intermediate momentum <math>p_m</math> defined by

<math> p_m = \left( 1/p_{l} - 1/p_{h} \right)^{-1}</math>

there is an efficiency curve described by the piecewise function

<math> p < p_l </math>: <math>\epsilon = 0</math>
<math> p_l <p < p_m </math>: <math> \epsilon_{max} \left(1+\frac{p_h}{p_m} - \frac{p_h}{p}\right) </math>:
<math> p_m < p < p_h </math>: <math> \epsilon_{max}</math>
<math> p_h < p </math>: <math> \epsilon_{max}\frac{p_h}{p}</math>

It is important to note the <math>\epsilon_{max}</math> is proportional to the field integral.
