performance vs. QE

Performance of the Barrel DIRC with different QE.

  • PandaRoot simulations without field
  • configuration with narrow bars, 3 layer spherical lens, and 8 MCPs layout with ~17 mm gap
  • pions and kaons @ p = 3.6 GeV/c @ phi = 10.825 deg
  • time-imaging reconstruction with full-simulated pdfs
  • 30k tracks for pdf generation (per each particle species); 5k for determining separation
  • ~2 mrad tracking resolution
  • realistic time precision
  • QE=26(32)% for Photonis 1 and QE=18(24)% for Photonis 2 ( see blue/black curves). CE=95%
  • spatial QE = 1
