FHC transverse study summary

 

     I used the Zoffset for FHC is 850cm and 948cm.

Linearity Check in fixed ecalgeo.g, take II

Abstract:  The EEMC geometry (ecalgeo.g) has been modified to remove a bug which resulted in approximately 1 radiation length of lead being inserted at the shower-maximum depth.  In this blog entry, the response of the modified geometry to various particles is determined over a range in energy from 0.5 to 200 GeV.  For photons we find that the linearity of the simulated EEMC sampling fraction is good to better than 1% over the range of energies studied.  Electrons above 2 GeV and neutral pions above 7 GeV exhibit similar linearities.

Linearity Check in fixed ecalgeo.g

Abstract:  A bug in the EEMC geometry has been identified.  Lines such as "Material Air isvol=0" have an unexpected (read undocumented) behavior: they create a new materi
