Tran \\ Boston University} \date{\today} \maketitle \begin{abstract} This report presents estimated hit rate on STM detectors with the updated geometry in Offline version TODO. \end{abstract} \section{Overview} \label{sec:overview} In order to measure the eponymous rate of the Mu2e experiment, the number of stopped muons needs to be known to about \SI{10}{\percent}. The most promising schemes have involved photon detectors far downstream of the Muon Beam Stop measuring emissions from the Stopping Target (ST) at different times with respect to each pulse of muons stopping in the target. There are three categories we explore here for this stopping-target monitor (STM): \begin{itemize} \item Prompt: X-rays emitted when the muon comes to rest in the ST and is captured into atomic orbit (atomic capture, sometimes referred to as “muon stop” in this text). These X-rays are emitted essentially O(ps) with the atomic capture time. \item Semiprompt: $\gamma$-rays emitted upon nuclear capture (sometimes referred to simply as ``capture'' in this text) of the muon after stop. These exhibit timing characteristics of the muonic lifetime ($\tau = \SI{864}{\ns}$). \item Delayed: $\gamma$-rays from activated daughters resulting from muon nuclear capture in the ST. \end{itemize} The baseline design of the STM has been described by Miller et al~\cite{Miller2016}, the estimated hit rate on STM detector was about \SI{1.1}{\kHz} in the time window \SIrange{200}{1695}{\ns} from arrival time of a proton bunch. But this design would cause a high hit rate on the Cosmic Ray Veto (CRV) system, therefore changes have been made in the Offline version v6\textunderscore 0\textunderscore 2 by the CRV team to reduce the CRV hit rate. The goal of this study is to re-estimate hit rates on STM detectors in this new geometry. The actual changes relevant to the STM are: \begin{itemize} \item \SI{10}{\mm} polyethylene liner added to CRV shielding, \item field-of-view (FOV) collimator absorber thickness reduced to \SI{10}{\mm} (from \SI{20}{\mm}). \end{itemize} \section{Simulation details} \label{sec:simulation_details} The study was done using Mu2e Offline version v6\textunderscore 0\textunderscore 2 (released on Oct 16, 2016), hashtag \texttt{3d1e9154d7}. The simulation starts from the entrance of TS5 (see \cref{fig:stm_geo_all}), taking \texttt{cd3-beam-g4s2-mubeam.0728a} dataset as input. The dataset contains 5098 files, each corresponds to \num{1e6} proton-on-target (POT). The dataset were reused 16 times with different random seeds, where \SI{97.6}{\percent} of runs succeeded, equivalent to \num{7.96e10} POTs. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{figs/stm_geo_all} \caption{Simulation geometry showing the Detector Solenoid region on the left, sweeper magnet, Field-Of-View collimator, Spot-Size collimator, and the STM detectors on the right. Particles saved in the input files are shoot from the TS5 (orange circle), and transported to the STM region.} \label{fig:stm_geo_all} \end{figure} There were 8 virtual detectors (VD) in STM region enabled in this study, their identification numbers (\texttt{vdid}), locations, and abbreviation names (appear in the simulation output) are listed in \cref{tab:vds_list}. Information recorded by the VDs includes: particle type (\texttt{pdgid}), global and local coordinates, time, kinetic energy, and parent particle type. Only particles considered important to the STM, namely electrons, positrons, negative and positive muons, neutrons and photons, were written to the output file. \begin{table}[htbp] \centering \caption{List of virtual detectors read out in this study} \label{tab:vds_list} \begin{adjustbox}{max width=\textwidth} \begin{tabular}{@{}ccll@{}} \toprule &VDID & Location & Abbreviation \\ \midrule 1 & 81 & Exit of neutron shield of the DS & DSNeutronShieldExit \\ 2 & 86 & Upstream of the STM system & STM\textunderscore UpStr \\ 3 & 87 & Downstream of the sweeper magnet & STM\textunderscore MagDnStr \\ 4 & 101 & Upstream of the spot-size collimator & STM\textunderscore SpotSizeCollUpStr \\ 5 & 88 & Downstream of the spot-size collimator& STM\textunderscore CollDnStr \\ 6 & 89 & Upstream of the STM detector 1 & STM\textunderscore Det1UpStr \\ 7 & 90 & Upstream of the STM detector 2 & STM\textunderscore Det2UpStr \\ 8 & 100 & Downstream of the FOV collimator & STM\textunderscore FieldOfViewCollDnStr \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{adjustbox} \end{table} \section{Simulation and analysis code} \label{sec:simulation_and_analysis_code} The simulation and analysis code are located at: \url{/mu2e/app/users/namtran/STM_study_201611}. % \lstinputlisting[language=bash,frame=single]{listings/code_dir_tree.sh} \begin{mdframed}[style=listing] \inputminted[fontsize=\footnotesize]{bash}{listings/code_dir_tree.sh} \end{mdframed} \texttt{step00} contains configuration files for this simulation and a script to submit all 5098 jobs to the FermiGrid. It took about 14 hours to complete one job in average. The \texttt{analysis} folder contains a script (\texttt{run\textunderscore statistics.sh}) which checks if a job has finished successfully, and makes a list of such runs. There is a simple analysis code (\texttt{main.cc}) to read the VD records and make plots. \section{Results} \label{sec:results} \begin{mdframed}[style=warning] Muonic X-rays and probabilities in the simulation are not correct (see \cref{sec:muonic_x_rays_in_geant4}). \end{mdframed} \subsection{STM detector energy spectra} \label{sub:stm_detector_spectra} Energy spectrum of particles hitting STM detectors in the range \SIrange{0.1}{3.1}{\MeV} are presented in \cref{fig:stm_det_ke}. There were not many hits, and only the annihilation peak stands out. Most of the particles are photons as shown in \cref{fig:stm_det_ptype}. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.85\textwidth]{figs/ke_det1UpStr} \includegraphics[width=0.85\textwidth]{figs/ke_det2UpStr} \caption{Kinetic energy of particles hitting STM detectors 1 (top), and 2 (bottom).} \label{fig:stm_det_ke} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figs/ke_pdg_det1UpStr} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figs/ke_pdg_det2UpStr} \caption{Kinetic energy and type of particles hitting STM detectors 1 (top), and 2 (bottom).} \label{fig:stm_det_ptype} \end{figure} \subsection{STM detector hit rate estimation} \label{sub:stm_detector_hit_rate_estimation} The average number of hits on a STM detector per POT is: \begin{equation} \frac{672 + 714}{2 \times 7.96 \times 10^{10}} = 8.7 \times 10^{-9}. \label{eqn:stm_hit_count} \end{equation} There would be \num{3.1e7} POTs per proton bunch, so the number of hits each bunch is: \begin{equation} 8.7 \times 10^{-9} \times 3.1 \times 10^7 = 0.27. \end{equation} The instantaneous hit rate, assuming an interval of \SI{1695}{\ns} between bunches, is: \begin{equation} \frac{0.27}{1695\times 10^{-9}} = \SI{158.9e3}{\Hz} \end{equation} The uncertainty on the hit rate estimation is \SI{2.6}{\percent} if only statistical uncertainty of the hit counting in \cref{eqn:stm_hit_count} is taken into account. This hit rate is too high for a HPGe detector to function well, so an attenuator would be installed upstream of the spot-size collimator to lower the hit rate to about \SI{50}{\kHz}. \subsection{Hit timing on STM detectors} \label{sub:timing_of_hits_on_stm_detectors} Timing in the simulation starts from the birth of a primary proton, which means all events start at the same $t = 0$ time. In order to mimic the pulse structure of the proton beam (\SI{250}{\ns} pulse width, \SI{1695}{\ns} between pulses~\cite{Bartoszek2014}), the recorded times on each event are smeared by a Gaussian distribution with a $\sigma = 250 / 6 = \SI{41.7}{\ns}$. The hit timing as a function of kinetic energy for several virtual detectors are shown in \cref{fig:ke_time_4vds}. Most of hits arrive between \num{100} and \SI{400}{\ns} from the center of a proton pulse. Only a few of particles could hit the STM detectors, especially in the energy region around the $2p-1s$ peak, that it is hard to investigate the dependence between timing and energy of hits. Therefore I will only analyze the timing information of hits STM\_SpotSizeCollUpStr. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{figs/ke_time_4vds} \caption{Hit timing as a function of kinetic energy at spot size collimator upstream (top left) and down stream (top right), and two STM detectors (bottom left and right).} \label{fig:ke_time_4vds} \end{figure} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsection{Signal to background ratio: $2p-1s$ peak at spot-size collimator upstream} \label{sub:signal_to_background_ratio_2p_1s_peak_at_spot_size_collimator_upstream} The energy of muonic $2p-1s$ transition in aluminum is given as \SI{335}{\keV} by Geant4. Background is taken as the average counts for 10 bins around \SI{335}{\keV}, and signal strength is calculated by subtracting the background from the count under the peak. Energy spectra at spot-size collimator upstream (VD 101: STM\_SpotSizeCollUpStr) in \SI{50}{\ns} windows and their signal-to-background ratios are shown in \cref{fig:ke_SpotSizeCollUpStr_time_slices}. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{figs/ke_SpotSizeCollUpStr_time_slices} \caption{Energy spectra at STM\_SpotSizeCollUpStr and signal-to-background ratios in 50-ns time windows.} \label{fig:ke_SpotSizeCollUpStr_time_slices} \end{figure} \subsection{Signal to background ratio: \SI{1809}{\keV} at spot-size collimator upstream} \label{sub:signal_to_background_ratio_1809_kev_at_spot_size_collimator_upstream} %%%% Appendices \pagebreak \appendix \section{How to run the simulation and analyze data} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \label{sec:how_to_run_the_simulation_and_analyze_data} \subsection{Simulating beam flash} \label{sub:simulating_beam_flash} Simulation scripts are in: \url{/mu2e/app/users/namtran/STM_study_201611/step00}: \begin{itemize} \item \url{fcl/step00.fcl}: configuration for this study (primary particles, virtual detectors to be read out, particle filtering, ...) \item \url{geom/geom.txt}: specify geometry settings (thickness of shields, enabled virtual detectors, ...) \item \url{submit.sh}: submit all jobs (5098) in the \url{cd3-beam-g4s2-mubeam.0728a.list} to the grid \end{itemize} \noindent Steps to run the simulation: \begin{itemize} \item preparing user's code: follow Mu2e instruction to create an \texttt{Offline} distribution (mine is at \url{/mu2e/app/users/namtran/Offline}), \item setting up \texttt{mu2e} environment \footnote{I used \texttt{mu2egrid} version \texttt{v3\_02\_00} which supports \texttt{mu2eart} command}: \begin{mdframed}[style=listing] \inputminted[ fontsize=\scriptsize, firstline=1, lastline=11, breaklines=true, breakanywhere=true ]{bash}{listings/runall.sh} \end{mdframed} \item submitting all jobs: \begin{mdframed}[style=listing] \inputminted[ fontsize=\scriptsize, firstline=13, breaklines=true, breakanywhere=true ]{bash}{listings/runall.sh} \end{mdframed} \end{itemize} \noindent Analysis code \url{/mu2e/app/users/namtran/STM_study_201611/analysis}: \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{run\_statistics}: skims the log files (\texttt{mu2e.log} in each subdirectory`) to make a list of successful runs, and collect CPU time, random seeds.
