Objectives•To find an optimum design of BGO and passive collimator regarding to background.•Evaluate the background level with fluorescence X-rays and cosmic X-ray/gamma-ray background (here we call “primary gamma”) taken into account.

Simulated Geometry•Thickness of fast scint. = 2.63cm
(D = 2.23cm)•W (thickness of slow scint.) = 0.2cm•L1 (slow scint. length) = 60cm•L2 (fast scint. length) = 20cm•Thickness of btm BGO = 2.68cmGap between BGOs = 0.5cm
(including BaSo4 eflector)•# of units = 217 (geometrical area of fast scint. not covered by slow scint. = 934.4 cm2)
•Length of btm BGO = 3/4/5cm(not tapered in simulator for simplicity)•Thickness of side Anti BGO = 3/4/5cm•Length of side Anti BGO = 60/70/80cm•Collimator material = Sn/Pb•single/dual layer collimator

Simulation Condition•The same Crab spectrum as that used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation was simulated here. That is,
•E-2.1 spectrum with 100mCrab intensity, 20-200keV (300.8 c/s/m2)•100% polarized, 6h exposure•Attenuation by air of 4g/cm2 (atmospheric depth in zenith direction is ~3g/cm2 and that in line-of-sight direction is 4g/cm2)
•Atmospheric downward/upward gamma and cosmic X-ray/gamma-ray background gamma (primary gamma) spectra for GLAST BFEM simulation were used as background.•Use Geant4 ver5.1 with PoGO-fix for polarized Compton scattering.

Detector Resopnses•The same detector responses as those used in Hiro’s EGS4 simulation
•If there is a hit in slow/anti/btm scintillators, event is rejected. (Threshold is 3 keV for anti/btm BGO and 30 keV for slow scintillator. Note that the position dependence has not taken into account yet.). Energy smearing and poisson fluctuation are not taken into account yet for veto scintillators.•Assumed detector resposes:
• 0.5 photo-electron/keV• fluctuated by poisson distribution• smeared by gaussian of sigma=0.5 keV (PMT energy resolution)• minimum hit threshold after three steps above is 3 keV
PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt 7
Event Analysis•The same as those of Hiro’s EGS4 Simulation
•Use events in which two or three fast scintillators detected a hit.•The largest energy deposit is considered to be photo absorption•The second largest energy deposit is considered to be Compton scattering.•Smallest energy deposit (in case of three scintillators with hit) is ignored.•Smear azimuth angle distribution with Hiro’s resolution function.•No event selection on compton kinematics

•BG below 30 keV for Pb collimator is worse than that for Sn collimator, due to fluorescence X-rays from Pb.
PoGO_G4_2005-08-12.ppt 13
Dual Layer Collimator (1)•Due to fluorescence X-rays, BG level for Pb collimator becomes higher than that for Sn collimator below 30keV.•Dual layer collimator could reduce the BG; outer collimator (Pb) eliminates contamination from primary gammas and downward atmospheric gammas, and inner collimator (Sn) eliminates fluorescence X-rays from Pb collimator.•We tested two configurations. The idea of shortened Pb collimator is, to make the pass length in Sn collimator long enough to absorb fluorescent X-rays from Pb.

Summary•BG dependence on BGO length/thickness and collimator configuration are studied.•3 components of gamma-ray background (primary, atmospheric downward/upward) and fluorescence X-rays are taken into account.•Longer side BGO reduces BG above 50 keV (p.9). Pb collimator instead of Sn can also do this. (p.11)•Thicker side/bottom BGO reduces BG above 80 keV. (p.10)•Dual layer collimator with shortened Pb gives the lowest BG. Below 60keV, there is no significant difference among Sn collimator and dual collimators (normal configuration and shortened Pb). (pp.11-15)
