Energy distributions from photons resulting from pi0 decays
A few notes:
- These plots were generated using the pi0 on Pb208 generator
in psim. Only the "thrown" values were examined. These were values
in the MCPART bank with state=3 (i.e. final state particles)
- The photon was defined as hitting PbGlass if it was projected
to be at a cardinal distance of less than 17*2.05cm + 6*3.84cm and greater
than 17*2.05cm from the beamline in either x or y
- The photon was defined as hitting the PbWO4 if it was projected
to be at a cardinal distance of less than 17*2.05cm from the beamline
in either x or y. Not cut was made for the beam hole. This enhances the
highest energy part (>4.5GeV) of the PbWO4 spectrum.
- The data contains all pi0 production channels (i.e. primakoff,
nuclear coherent, interference)
- The plots of the photon energy in lead glass and PbWO4 both
have a cut on both photons being inside of the fiducial volume
of HYCAL. There is no cut on the photon energies.
