bar deformation

Performance of the hpDIRC with deformed bars.

  • EIC, ePIC, hpDIRC, updated geometry (barrel's R = 766.25)
  • with B-field
  • tracks hitting middle of the bar #5
  • pi/K @ 6 GeV/c
  • 0.5 mrad tracking resolution, unless labeled otherwise
  • 3-layer spherical lens with sapphire, r=[62,36] for prism EV
  • 4x6 layout; 16x16 pixels MCP-PMTs with HIQ400, CE=95%; 100 ps time precision
  • 2x3 layout; 32x32 pixels HRPPD Incom.24, CE=70%; 100 ps time precision
  • transport efficiency based on BaBar ref. coef. measurements
  • TI with 30k PDF for each particle type.
  • eicdirc's git commit hash: 5b7c50fd102fffae00e99ddb126efe2b8bd5e95e
