The TPC Ion Feed Back estimations with garfield++
Updated on Wed, 2015-07-01 13:35. Originally created by fisyak on 2015-07-01 11:37.
This note is continuation of https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/fisyak/grid-leak-between-inner-and-outer-tpc-sectors-estimations-based-garfield.
To calculate Ion Feed back (IFB) I use root macro ~fisyak/macros/tpcGL.C
There are two reason to do this calculations:
- to make a baseline for comparison for different iTPC designs.
- to estimate IFB from lower part on Inner (II) , upper part of Outer sectors (OO), and region between Inner and Outer sectors (IO).
During these calculations the following parameters and assumptions have been used:
- The wire geometry is the same as in N.Smirnov's calculations: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/subsys/tpc/GridLeakSimulation.
- Inner sector Anode wire potential : 1100 V.
- Outer sector Anode wire potential: 1390 V.
- The (closed) Gating Grid has (+/-) configuration (-115 +/- 75 V) i.e. the last GG wire Inner Sector potential -40 V and the first GG wire Outer Sector potential -190 V.
- Electrons are generate just behind closed GG (y = 0.1 cm, yGG = 0), transported to anode wire, an avalanche is created, ions from the avalanche are transported.
- The flux of ions (1/cm) is normalized to electron flux 1/cm.
- IBF is ion flux just behind GG ( = -0.25 cm).
Inner Outer region (IO)
Inner Inner region (II)
Outer Outer region (OO)
Conclusions
- Ion Feed back flows per 1 electrons are quite comparable for all 3 regions:
- IFBIO = 7.7 +/- 0.3
- IFBII = 5.4 +/- 0.3
- IFBOO = 8.4 +/- 0.3
- The values of IFB (== GL) ~ 10 is quite close to Gene's Space Charge to Grid Leack ratio.
- The effect on distortion from "II" region (keeping in mind 1/R electron density dependence) is quite significant. Thus we (Gene) have to move from one sheet GL approximation to three sheets one.
- It would be desirable to check that we do have "+/-" GG configuration. 10 years ago it was intention to do (+-) configuration but nobody knows the real status of this. Wrong configuration (++ or --) will effect IFBIO which can be used to normalization.
