Momentum reconstruction

• Reconstruction class TofTrack being added to G4MICE– In close collaboration with Malcolm– Very simple to begin with– Designed to be useful before trackers are operating– Details to follow at CM20– The following work is a look beyond that at the difficulties of

doing something more sophisticated

• The following numbers are Monte Carlo truth…– Designed to illustrate the intrinsic difficulties in reconstructing

momentum given TOF0 and TOF1 data• No time measurement error• No transverse position measurement error

• Neglect corner clippers– Use hit with most photoelectrons

Momentum measurement uncertainty

• p = m0 c – assume PID ascertains m0

• Timing uncertainty– Technical challenge: progress being made in Milano

• One counter = scintillator with 2 PMTs– “…a conservative request for single counters timing resolution is 60–70

ps”» MICE Note 145

• Other factors:– 2 planes per station

» Rotated so as to yield ‘space points’– Multiple space points per muon possible/likely

• t1–t0 will be larger still

• Path length uncertainty– Software challenge: challenges remain…

• Multiple scattering in Tof-0, Cerenkov, Tof-1 and air• Focusing in quadrupoles Q7, Q8 and Q9• Limited transverse position resolution
