This page provides documentation on the simulation infrastructure for the MDC2020 era of the Mu2e code base.
Introduction
- Mu2e/Production contains the code a user will use to generate a primary physics process, digitize the output and reconstruct the hits, timecluster, tracks,clusters etc.
Simulation Workflow
Several new generators and workflows have been implemented for MDC2020.
Stopped Particles
In order to make a set of daughter particles, e.g. decay in orbit electrons, the user first needs a list of mother "stopped particles" these could be stopped muons or pions (or other) at either the stopping target or Inner Proton Absorber (IPA), at present these are the only stopping locations available.
These stopped particles must be stored within a .art file and must be created following the standard production workflow :
- Generate Protons on Target (POT) using the Production/JobConfig/beam/POT.fcl file. This will result in 2 output .art files: beam particles and neutral particles.
- Neutrals can be resampled and incorporated in pileup modeling. To make the stopped muons the beam output must be passed through the Production/JobConfig/beam/BeamSplitter.fcl. This will make 2 output .art files: beam electrons and muons. The electrons can be resampled and incorporated in the final mixing job.
- The muon output can then be passed into Production/JobConfig/pileup/MuBeamResampler.fcl. Two output streams are created : Target stops and IPA stops. These will be used to make your stopped muon .art files.
- The make the .art file of stopped muons at the target run the target output through Production/JobConfig/pileup/MuonStopSelector.fcl. The mu - output stream will be what you require.
