2 UPGR15+FGT as of May 2008

UPGR15 geometry was modified to match best guess of FGT geometry as of May 2008.

The active FGT area is : Z₁=70,..., Z₆=120cm, D_Z=10 cm, R_in=11.5cm, R_out=37.5 cm
There is 1cm of additional dead material at Rin & Rout

5 FGT cables in Geant

Notes,

If I want to know the total area for one FGT disk what is the proper multiplier : 4, 28, or 24*28 ?

Within the cable, multipliers for the individual "subcomponents" are in column L.

Then, there are overall 4 cables per FGT disk - the column B tells you number of cables and I-J tells you where they go.

In other words, for instance, overall total copper area in FGT-power cables is
24*(7*5.176E-3+1*3.255E-3) = 0.948 cm^2.

I know you asked to break out with one "line" per cable route - we can do this later but for now there are already a lot of lines... I'll leave them grouped as this and you should look at I-J to decide the lengths and where they are.

By the way, I imagine the "patch" between cone/FGT cables and "external" cables lying on TPC endwheel, through services gap, to crates, occurs somewhere just outside the cone, within the first foot or so.

6 radiation length study for UPGR16 + SSD

Study of the dead material in front and behind FGT.

3 versions of GEANT geometries were investigated:

UPGR16 + current SSD w/ current cables
UPGR16 w/ 'light' SSD (Alu support structure replaced by carbon, Cu cables replaced by Alu)
UPGR16 without SSD, nor SSD cables

Plot below is just example of material using current SSD.

Many more plots are in attached PDF, in particular figs 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-c.

FGT hits fired by backward tracks (Wei-Ming Zhang)

1, MC tracks (eta < -1.3) are thrown backwards and FGT are found fired.

2, To investigate with tracks (1.3 |eta| < 3.1) from MC events of RQMD Au-Au 10 GeV

Fig. 2

          There are two rows in Fig. 2. Each row has three plots, the left is track multiplicity of events, the middle pt of
      tracks, and the right dE of FGT hits in KeV. The top row is plotted for backward tracks which fire FGT and for fired FGT
      hits (backward hits). The first two of the bottom are for all backward tracks. The right of the bottom is a dE spectrum
      of FGT hits fired by FORWARD tracks (forward hits). From Fig. 1, we see
        1, A low level of backward hits (mult_0/mult_1 = 200 shown in the top left plot)
        2, A relatively large energy loss of backward hits which is 2-3 time larger than that of forward hits.
           This suggests backward tracks which fire FGT have very low speed and deposit more energy than forward MIPs.

Based on the above, we believe that backward hits in FGT come from multiple scattering.
