The E166 Spectrometer.

  Positron tracks visualization under MERMAID field map μ=4  "using Wired3".

  • WIRED3 is a Java program that was developed to let physicsts visualize single event data on any platform. It has evolved into a browser for data from any source that either provides HepRep XML files or a HepRep-enabled HepEventServer. This data may be particle physics events, Geant4 detector geometries or some other hierarchical graphics data.

  • When E166_G4_SIM is coupled to wired3 via a HepRep files, one can have a very instructive positron/charged particle track visualisation in the vaccum chamber under the MERMAID magnetic field map (μ=4).

  • The spectrometer current for this simulation study is : 100 A.

  • The Lens current is : 0 A (Off)
