2 Outline 1 Requirements and Reactions Event generator Geant4 Tracking 3 4

3 Reactions The aim is to find a suitable reaction for measuring position resolution of one triple cluster in the phase at LNL. The idea is to compare FWHM of the γ-ray peaks at different distances. Wtot = Wint + Wrec + W θ

11 Geant4 simulation evapor Geant4 MGT AGATA demonstrator simulation with Enricos Geant4 program. One triple cluster positioned at 90 degrees from the beam direction. Four different distances to front face of the detector: 40 mm, mm, 140 mm and 35 mm.

Possible source of error: How to estimate d = d(θ, E γ )? Two sources of uncertainties in d. Geometrical uncertainties and interaction depths.

25 FWHM vs. smearing FWHM against MGT smearing for 37 Cl and 51 V beams at 11 cm. Target effects, cross sections and similar carefully studied by Ali Al-Adili and under control. See his masters thesis (in preparation) for details.

26 FWHM vs. smearing (%) FWHM/E γ mm 9Be(80Se,3n)86Sr H(81Br,1n)8Kr 1 9Be(136Xe,3n)14Ce (%) FWHM/E γ 1. 9Be(80Se,3n)86Sr 40 mm mm mm 35 mm MGT Smearing (mm) MGT Smearing (mm) The three reactions looks qualitatively very similar. Example with MGT smearing of 5 mm: 80 Se gives W rec 3.74 kev, W int 1.86 kev 136 Xe gives W rec.89 kev, W int 1.39 kev. As expected, slope change with d. Why do they not meet at 0? Because of packing of 1 mm?

28 Position resolution vs. smearing Graph Position resolution (mm) 0 40 mm mm Be(80Se,3n)86Sr H(81Br,1n)8Kr 9Be(136Xe,3n)14Ce Graph Position resolution (mm) 0 9Be(80Se,3n)86Sr mm mm 16 mm - 35 mm MGT Smearing (mm) MGT Smearing (mm) The good news: The three different reactions give the same position resolution when run at the same distance. The bad news: The two different distances do not give same position resolution for the same reaction. Possibly related to uncertainties in d?

29 Position resolution vs. smearing Graph Position resolution (mm) 0 40 mm mm Be(80Se,3n)86Sr H(81Br,1n)8Kr 9Be(136Xe,3n)14Ce Graph Position resolution (mm) 0 9Be(80Se,3n)86Sr mm mm 16 mm - 35 mm MGT Smearing (mm) MGT Smearing (mm) The good news: The three different reactions give the same position resolution when run at the same distance. The bad news: The two different distances do not give same position resolution for the same reaction. Possibly related to uncertainties in d?

30 The method proposed by F. Recchia seem to work with simulations Necessary to find a way to determine d with good accuracy Reaction rate example: 80 Se, 1 pna, 1 mg/cm, 300 mb gives about 500 Hz in peak Requirements - OK
