Channel Description

CE stands for Conversion Electron. This is the primary signal we are searching for at Mu2e. Therefore, ensuring an accurate generator is crucial to us understanding what our signal could look like in our detectors.


Literature

Generator

Conversion electrons can be generated in two ways:

  • as Endpoints (CEEndpoint) assuming a coherent mono-energetic electron emitted at 104.97 MeV/c
  • including leading log radiative corrections (see literature).

In the latter case are 10 % of the electrons are in a low momentum tail shifted away from the endpoint.

compares CE and CELL.

where most of the terms have their usual meaning and Emax is the conversion energy and W (Ee) is the non-universal part of the correction.
