Tracking of low momentum particles in DCH using the new approach inserted in DchSimGeom (V00-02-00)
    • Particles with momentum below 5 MeV are treated with the already implemented tracking algorithm.
    • Particles with momentum lower than 5 MeV are tracked with a new algorithm:
    • When a particle of low momentum crosses a drift chamber cell:

      • The trajectory of the particle is studied in the plane XY Z=Zentrance point, See next picture;
      • The position of the wires defining the cell in the same plane are used to make two by two a line like A,B and C in the picture;
      • The intersections of the projected trajectory (circus) and each line throught the field wires make 2,1 or 0 solutions;
      • If the position of the intersections are outside the cell region (like circus and line B in the picture) another line (A .... then C in the picture) is considered.
      • If the intersection is in the cell region (like circus and line C in the picture) the step in the space is used to track the particle using the standard algorithms implemented in DchSimGeom for high momentum particles;

 
 
 
 
 

      • For each crossing one hit is stored; in next picture 4 hits are stored for the same particle in the cell;

 
 
 
 
 

      • If the trajectory is contained in the same cell (see next picture) the particle is stopped  and only one hit is generated.

 
 
 
 

  •  We produced four samples of electrons originated on the outer surface of  the inner cylinder of DCH.
    The samples correspond to 100 events with electron momentum range [GeV/c]:
                1. 5x10-5 - 1x10-4
                2. 1x10-4 - 1x10-3
                3. 1x10-3 - 5x10-3
                4. 5x10-3 - 1x10-1
      Theta  [0 - 90]   degrees
      Phi      [0 - 360] degrees
      Xvert, Yvert =  23.7 cm
             The hits multiplicity is shown in the  picture:
  •  Particles with momentum less than 100 KeV/c  and then Curvature Radius  less than 2 mm  produce just one hit (sample 1).

  •  
  •  Particles with momentum less than 1 MeV/c  and then Curvature Radius  less than 2 cm  produce  more hits (sample 2). The number is correlated to the particle direction.
  • In the plot of the produced hits the region of the chamber related to the charge particles activities is shown. A large region can be seen in the sample 4 while in the other three sample the region is reduced. In the sample 1 only one point is associated to the hits produced for the 100 events.
