mcp-pmts 8x8 vs 16x16 pi/e

Performance compassion for different pixel size. pi/e

  • DIRC@EIC, EPIC
  • 3-layer spherical lens with sapphire, r=[62,36]
  • 8x8 vs 16x16 (3.3mmx3.3mm vs 6.6mmx6.6mm pixels) HIQ400, CE=95%
  • pion/electrons @ 1.2 GeV/c; phi = 0 (no field); vertex y-shifted by 0.5*barwidth (to hit middle of the bar)
  • 2.2 mrad tracking
  • 100 ps time precision
  • geometrical reconstruction with averaged LUT from 15M photons
  • GR with per-PMT and chromatic corrections
  • 22.5k tracks for pdf generation (per each particle species); 5k for determining separation
