2:00 PM → 2:05 PM Cool Copper Collider - Beam Background Studies

Speakers: Elias Mettner (UW-Madison), Abdollah Mohammadi (UW-Madison)

CIRCE:

• Last week we had results but weren't fully sure how to interpret them
• circe_generate output:
  • Since either beam could emit a photon and lose energy, we have to account for the probability of that happening
  • I believe the two values are (1 - "fraction of E lost by photon") for the e+ and e- beam respectively
  • Need to multiply the values with their respective beam energies to get the actual collision energy for the event
• Within the produced beams.dat file: "weights"
  • The exact same numbers as in lumi-ee.histogram
  • Also in beams.dat there are #bins1: 100 and #bins2: 100, the exact number of weights
  • Probably defining the shape of the beam and weighting by luminosity
• We want to move forward with this "beams.circe" file
• Up next: feed beams file into WHIZARD, feed WHIZARD output into GEANT
  • Still need to configure WHIZARD correctly in order to do hadron photoproduction simulation
    • Lindsey says he has detailed notes from Tim Barklow, but Barklow's full gen isn't available yet
  • So there's going to be some mapping/configuring with the available WHIZARD version to do this
