TO-DO Items
- Determine the possible NPS angles from the TDIS setup (with the help of Steve Lassiter, Paulo Medeiros?);
- Determine the settings at 11 GeV, 8.8 GeV, and evaluate the nDVCS rates;
- Determine the triple-coincidence SBS-NPS-mTPC Signal-to-Background ratio:
- pi0 rates in NPS with SIMC (Estimations with Wiser gave ~5MHz over the full calorimeter);
- DIS rates (6 kHz from previous studies):
- proton rates in NPS: max ~550 p, d per event
Software How-tos
This section provides guidance on how to use the different software packages for nDVCS.
G4SBS
G4SBS is useful to evaluate many of the backgrounds, namely beam-induced backgrounds. The documentation of G4SBS is available at the following link: Documentation of G4SBS For nDVCS, one should use the tdis_dev branch: git checkout tdis_dev
DVCS event generator
SIMC with Bosted pi0 generator
SIMC, combined with Bosted pi0 generator, can be used to evaluate the pi0 induced NPS backgrounds.
