Software and Runs Used
· Release: 15.7.1 · Package: PepBkgMon V00-00-02 · Simulation: Bhabha_generic_1deg.tcl
­ Uses Bhwide event generator ­ For angles greater than 1 degree in Bhabha rest frame

· Data: Run 44218 (January background run)

Predicted Bhabha rate
· The Born level differential cross section for Bhabhas is[1]: ds/dW=a2/2s [(1+cos4 q/2 )/sin4 q/2-2(cos4 q/2 / sin2 q/2 )+(1+cos2 q/2 )/2] · For small angles, this is approximately ds/dq=32pa2/sq3, for a 1/q3 distribution · Using a=1/137 and s=10.582, ds/dq=18.6/q3nb · This gives a Bhabha rate of 29kHz for q>10 at 1033cm2

Data Cont.: Radial Plots

· · · · ·

Note: Bhwide is a wide angle Bhabha simulator and is probably inaccurate for angles less than 10 degrees No noise: with noise added the noise dominates the hits from the Bhabhas Simulation scaled assuming 29kHz rate Data: Rate=10.113/Theta3 Chisq=2.084 Simulation: Rate=5.383/Theta3 Chisq=1.483

Neutron Calculation
· Using 1 neutron/5GeV (from Monday MDI meeting), .14 Amps/hour lost in each beam, 1-2 MeV neutrons, the predicted rate of interactions in the 2mm of gas in an IFR layer is roughly 94kHz. · This is comparable to the noise rate in the IFR

Details and Conclusions
· Angular distribution of Bhabhas in the IFR looks reasonable · Comparison with data consistent with significant backgrounds from Bhabhas

To Do
· Migrate to Release 16, PepBkgMon V00-01-17 · Produce more noiseless Bhabha MC · Look into different event generators (Bhlumi, BbBrem, fix Bhwide small angle bug) · Re-run simulation with extended detector model · Start looking at predicted neutron rate from MC
