number of reflections

Number of reflections of photons inside radiator bars as a function of polar angle. Calculated based on MC photon directions and MC photon propagation length.

  • EIC, ePIC, hpDIRC
  • with B-field,track hitting middle of bar #5
  • 3-layer spherical lens with sapphire, r=[62,36]
  • 16x16 pixels MCP-PMTs with HIQ400, CE=95%
  • 1000 pi @ 6 GeV/c
  • 100 ps time precision

Photons with more than 1500 reflections are disregarded.
