Pile-Up Studies

Under:

This page is for documentation of pile-up work. Pile-Up refers to
  1. Non-triggered events which occur during the Pixel readout
    1. Au+Au or p+p
    2. UPC background (mostly electrons)
  2. General beam background due to Pixel proximity to the beam
Initial hand estimates (9/2007) by Jim Thomas are encouraging and they can be found in the file below named 'SimulationRequest'.
