  1. Development of a simulation package for fragmentation reactions at GSI Daniel Bloor & The AGATA Collaboration IoPNPPD Conference, University of Glasgow, 05/04/11.

  2. Motivation S1 S2 S3 S4 36Ar Primary Beam → Magnets + Ion optics Production Target 9Be (400mg/cm2) RISING + LYCCA-0 Secondary Target 197Au (386mg/cm2) → 29S [Coulex] Simulate secondary fragmentation and relativistic Coulex reactions @ GSI to test response of AGATA in high background, relativistic environment. • Spectral reconstruction. • Tracking (OFT, MGT). Simulate PRESPEC experiment @ GSI (May 2011)

  3. Motivation S1 S2 S3 S4 36Ar Primary Beam → Magnets + Ion optics Production Target 9Be (400mg/cm2) AGATA + LYCCA-0 Secondary Target 197Au (386mg/cm2) → 29S [Coulex] Simulate secondary fragmentation and relativistic Coulex reactions @ GSI to test response of AGATA in high background, relativistic environment • Spectral reconstruction. • Tracking (OFT, MGT). Simulate PRESPEC experiment @ GSI (May 2011) • Replace RISING with AGATA + quantify improvements of using highly segmented Ge detectors.

  4. Simulation Process Event Generation MOCADI GAMMAWARE RISING+LYCCA-0 AGATA code AGATA+LYCCA-0 Process Events (ROOT script) ROOT tree ASCII Files Analysis/Cuts Tracking (AGATA)

  5. Test Case • Events file from Mike Taylor’s lyccasim package [1] containing 91 fragments. • Two-step fragmentation reaction: • 58Ni (600MeV/u) + 9Be (4000mg/cm2) → 55Ni • 55Ni + 9Be (700mg/cm2) → 53Ni • .

  12. Summary Simulation package to simulate secondary fragmentation and relativistic Coulex reactions from an AGATA perspective • Calculate recoil velocity and direction from LYCCA-0 interactions. • Test performance of Doppler correction/spectral reconstruction + tracking. To do: Fine tune package & simulate up and coming PRESPEC experiment (Coulex of 29S).
