85 |
|
S4 GEOMETRY UPDATED: |
86 |
|
The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong. |
87 |
|
A container of aluminum has been added having walls of thickness equal |
88 |
|
to 0.1 cm. |
89 |
|
|
90 |
|
TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED: |
91 |
|
S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate. |
92 |
|
Before now, the positions were put by hand based on the positions given by |
93 |
|
Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA |
94 |
|
sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and |
95 |
|
S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were |
96 |
|
lightly approximated because the thicknesses of the mylar and of the glue were |
97 |
|
not considered in that document. Also the height of S3 has been modified as |
98 |
|
suggested from the Naples PAMELA collaborators. |
99 |
|
|
100 |
|
ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED. |
101 |
|
The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill |
102 |
|
the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the |
103 |
|
details of these materials. |
104 |
|
|
105 |
|
TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED. |
106 |
|
The top plate geometry has been simulated as a rectangular window filled |
107 |
|
with a mixture of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). It has been |
108 |
|
put in a N2 box having the same planar dimensions of CATA. In this box there |
109 |
|
are also S2 and CATA at the right positions. Then the top plate geometry has |
110 |
|
been completed with other eight small volumes of titanium positioned at the |
111 |
|
corners of the N2 box. Four of them are at the same height of CATA, the |
112 |
|
other four are at the same height of S2. The simulated geometry of the top |
113 |
|
plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD drawings. |
114 |
|
|
115 |
|
October 2006, Bari |
116 |
|
|
117 |
|
The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some |
118 |
|
volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to |
119 |
|
put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also |
120 |
|
defined. |
121 |
|
|
122 |
|
September 2006, Bari |
123 |
|
|
124 |
|
SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card, |
125 |
|
missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE |
126 |
|
data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card: |
127 |
|
NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with |
128 |
|
a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA. |
129 |
|
|
130 |
|
|
131 |
|
June 2006, Bari |
132 |
|
|
133 |
|
The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc) |
134 |
|
and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the |
135 |
|
nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical |
136 |
|
parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, |
137 |
|
E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions |
138 |
|
of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact |
139 |
|
that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the |
140 |
|
document it has been neglected. |

|
GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED |
146 |
|
|
147 |
|
Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten |
148 |
|
have been added. The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma |
149 |
|
enter the calorimeter absorber. This is the steering routine to |
150 |
|
simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance. It |
151 |
|
does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other |
152 |
|
selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the |
153 |
|
gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle |
154 |
|
number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons. |

CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED |
160 |
|
|
161 |
|
The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit |
162 |
|
structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK |
163 |
|
ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed |
164 |
|
so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum |
165 |
|
number of hit. |
166 |
|
In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored. |

TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED |
171 |
|
|
172 |
|
The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been |
173 |
|
added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M, |
174 |
|
S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and |
175 |
|
S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put |
176 |
|
in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and |
177 |
|
aluminum have been added at their nominal positions. According to |
178 |
|
Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air |
179 |
|
gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the |
180 |
|
polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been |
181 |
|
defined as a mixture. The positions of the three bottom |
182 |
|
scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and |
183 |
|
S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official |
184 |
|
positions in PAMELA. |

GEN DATA CARD UPDATED |
189 |
|
|
190 |
|
To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane, |
191 |
|
GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is |
192 |
|
the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z |
193 |
|
position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER + |
194 |
|
ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3). |

|
GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED |
199 |
|
|
200 |
|
To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The |
201 |
|
inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR. |
202 |
|
|
203 |
|
NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR |
204 |
|
|
205 |
|
This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag |
206 |
|
is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to |
207 |
|
'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly. |
208 |
|
|
209 |
|
|
210 |
|
NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND |
211 |
|
|
212 |
|
The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the |
213 |
|
geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been |
214 |
|
updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and |
215 |
|
literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed. |
216 |
|
|
217 |
|
GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES |
218 |
|
|
219 |
|
GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface |
220 |
|
to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of |
221 |
|
the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron |
222 |
|
simulation. for details see: |
223 |
|
http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html |
224 |
|
This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is |
225 |
|
not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into |
226 |
|
gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree. |
227 |
|
Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of |
228 |
|
the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did |
229 |
|
extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I |
230 |
|
did store the include files into a newly created directory: |
231 |
|
gpcalordes. |
232 |
|
The Makefile has been updated accordingly. |
233 |
|
Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F |
234 |
|
NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In |
235 |
|
particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library |
236 |
|
libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are |
237 |
|
present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged. |
238 |
|
NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz |
239 |
|
and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved |
240 |
|
to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will |
241 |
|
look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are |
242 |
|
searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool |
243 |
|
proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with |
244 |
|
synchronization fo these files. |

TOF SCINTILLATOR PADDLES UPDATED |
252 |
|
|
253 |
|
The dimensions and the number of the scintillator paddles for each |
254 |
|
TOF planes have been updated. |
255 |
|
|
256 |
|
May 2005, Bari |
257 |
|
|
258 |
|
Some updates on the latest modification done in the past year. |
259 |
|
|
260 |
|
NEW DATA CARD ADDED: HFSF |
261 |
|
|
262 |
|
To define a policy for the random number initial seeds |
263 |
|
definition. Using this card is possible to override GEANT seeds |
264 |
|
defined via NRDM card. The policy is selected according to the |
265 |
|
values: |
266 |
|
|
267 |
|
- 1: The seeds are initialized to the initial values found in a user |
268 |
|
defined file or the default file: INPUTSEED.DAT |
269 |
|
|
270 |
|
- 2: The seeds are initialized to the final values found in a user defined |
271 |
|
file or the default file: INPUTSEED.DAT |
272 |
|
|
273 |
|
The case 1 must be used in case the user needs to reproduce the |
274 |
|
random chain of a previous run. In this case the user can save the |
275 |
|
initial seeds, used in the run he would like to reproduce, in a |
276 |
|
binary file and pass the filename to the program using the *FLSF |
277 |
|
data card. In case the user file is not specified the default |
278 |
|
INPUTSEED.DAT will be used. |
279 |
|
|
280 |
|
The case 2 must be used in case the user needs to chain several |
281 |
|
GPAMELA run and likes to be sure he is starting the random |
282 |
|
generator using the right sequence. In this case the user must |
283 |
|
specify an input binary file using the *FLSF data card, otherwise |
284 |
|
the INPUTSEED.DAT file will be used. |
285 |
|
|
286 |
|
NEW DATA CARD ADDED: *FSFI |
287 |
|
|
288 |
|
Using this card the user can specify the logical unit and name of |
289 |
|
the file storing the initial seeds to be used to initialize the |
290 |
|
random number generator. This file must be a FORTRAN binary one |
291 |
|
storing four integer numbers. The first two are the number to be |
292 |
|
used in the case: HFSF=1, the other two will be used in the case: |
293 |
|
HFSF=2. This file can be one created by GPAMELA or by the user |
294 |
|
filled with his own seeds. For this purpose an utility program: |
295 |
|
writeseeds.f, has been added in the aux directory. In case the |
296 |
|
*FSFI card is not specified the default values: 24 and INPUTSEEDS.DAT, will |
297 |
|
be used as LUN and file name respectively. |
298 |
|
|
299 |
|
NEW DATA CARD ADDED: *LSFI |
300 |
|
|
301 |
|
Using this card the user can specify the logical unit and name of |
302 |
|
the file storing the first and last seeds used in the GPAMELA |
303 |
|
run. This file is a FORTRAN binary one. This file can be used as |
304 |
|
input one specifying it in the *FSFI data card of the next GPAMELA |
305 |
|
run. In case the *LSFI card is not specified the default values: 26 |
306 |
|
and HBOOKFILENAME.DAT (as sepified in *HFI), will be used as LUN |
307 |
|
and file name respectively. |
308 |
|
|
309 |
|
NEW UTILITY PROGRAMS ADDED: writeseeds.f, readseeds.f |
310 |
|
|
311 |
|
These new programs have been added in the aux directory. Using these a |
312 |
|
user defined seed file can be created and re-read. |
313 |
|
|
314 |
|
NEW VOLUMES ADDED: MSHE, BSPH; PRESSURIZED CONTAINER ADDED |
315 |
|
|
316 |
|
Alexey Bakaldin, in MEPHI, did add the PAMELA pressurized container to |
317 |
|
the simulation. He did defined new volumes filled with aluminum and |
318 |
|
placed inside the mother volume. Positions have been fine tuned by |
319 |
|
Marialuigia Ambriola and compared to the CAD drawings. |
320 |
|
Two new volumes have been added to simulate the container: |
321 |
|
- MSHE, a tube simulating the middle part of the container |
322 |
|
- BSPH, the spherical bottom part of the container |
323 |
|
|
324 |
|
To better simulate the upper part the SHEL volume has been modified |
325 |
|
into a cone. Dimentions of the top cover: TSPH, have been modified |
326 |
|
accordingly. |
327 |
|
|
328 |
|
DETECTOR POSITIONS REVIEWED |
329 |
|
|
330 |
|
All detector Z positions have been reviewd to fit into the |
331 |
|
simulated pressurized container. |
332 |
|
|
333 |
|
TRD GEOMETRY AND CALIBRATION REVIEWD |
334 |
|
|
335 |
|
The TRD geometry has been deeply reviewed. Using the CAD drawings |
336 |
|
the carbon fiber frames have been simulated and radiator dimentions |
337 |
|
corrected. For this reason the calibration done on the beam tests |
338 |
|
has been revied and new sets of calibration constants calculated |
339 |
|
comparing the beam test data with the GPAMELA results. The new |
340 |
|
constants are about 3% larger than the previous ones. |
341 |
|
|
342 |
|
TRACKER GEOMETRY REVIEWED. NEW VOLUME DEFINED: THBP, TPAS, TPAI |
343 |
|
|
344 |

Thanks to Lorenzo Bonechi for the drawings and explanations. Now the |
345 |
|
hybrd cards have been put into the simulation and the geometry updated |
346 |
|
considering the dead zones in the silicon detectors. The hybrid zone |
347 |
|
has been simulated as well. At the moment the hybrid is simulated as |
348 |
|
a G10 plates. The full height of the tracker magnet has been |
349 |
|
reviewed as well. |
350 |
|
|
351 |
|
The tracker ladder is now simulated inside a nitrogen box: TPAS, |
352 |
|
placed inside an aluminum frame: TRPB. Each silicon ladder has been |
353 |
|
simulated using two silicon blocks: TRSL, into each of this block a |
354 |
|
smaller silicon detector: TPAI, has been placed inside the larger |
355 |
|
silicon block TRSL. In this way the subdivided silicon ladder can |
356 |
|
be upgraded with an indipendend roto-translation for each sensor. |
357 |
|
|
358 |
|
The TRPB aluminum frame has been enlarged to fit the external |
359 |
|
magnet canister frame. |

The last plane has been flipped with a 180 degree rotation around |
362 |

NON-REPRODUCIBILITY PROBLEM OF A GPAMELA RUN FIXED. |
377 |
|
The non-reproducibility of a GPAMELA run was due to the random number |
378 |
|
initialization in the GARFIELD code. In GARFIELD by default, the initial |
379 |
|
seeds of the random number generators are always the same while the random |
380 |
|
number generators are called a given number of times (determined by the |
381 |
|
hour of the day) during the initialization phase (see init.f subroutine in |
382 |
|
the GARFIELD code for details). Follows that different runs produce |
383 |
|
different results without changing the initial seeds. To have identical |
384 |
|
results in different runs, the GARFIELD program has to start typing the |
385 |
|
noRNDM_initialisation switch. To avoid of specifying this switch |
386 |
|
by the user, |
387 |
|
the GARFIELD package has been upgraded with a patch. In this way the problem |
388 |
|
is partially solved because, now, the initial seeds of the random generators |
389 |
|
in GARFIELD will be always the same even if the RNDM GEANT data card is |
390 |
|
activated by the user for changing the initial seeds in the GPAMELA program. |
391 |
|
Work is in progress for a more general correction of this problem. |
392 |
|
Please, use the updated GARFIELD code released with the CVS version v4r1 |
393 |
|
to fix this problem. |

RNDM ROUTINE REPLACED BY THE GRNDM ROUTINE IN GPXTR AND NPOISS. |
397 |
|
The obsolete RNDM random number generator has been replaced by the GEANT |
398 |
|
GRNDN routine in the gpxtr.F subroutine and in the npoiss.F function. |

BUG FOUND AND FIXED: the set and detector calorimeter addresses (ISCAL |
401 |
|
and IDCASI variables) used in GUTREV were respectively set to a fixed |
402 |
|
values of 12 and 1. The correct values of these variables are stored in |
403 |
|
the GPSED common when the set and the detector ZEBRA banks are filled |
404 |
|
during a run. In general the values of the set and detector addresses |
405 |
|
depend on the number of active detectors in a given run. ISCAL=12 and |
406 |
|
IDCASI=1 are only right when all the detectors of GPAMELA are active. |

CALORIMETER SIMULATION completed! The update of the geometry and of the |
411 |
|
special tracking parameters and the tuning of the calorimeter have been |
412 |
|
successfully done. A great quantity of simulated data have been produced |
413 |
|
in the calorimeter for different particles (muons, electrons and pions) |
414 |
|
and momenta (5 and 40 GeV/c) and the output data have been analyzed. The |
415 |
|
distributions of the total energy deposited in the calorimeter and the |
416 |
|
total number of strips hit have been compared with the respective |
417 |
|
distributions produced by the Trieste's tuned standalone Monte Carlo |
418 |
|
simulation program of the PAMELA calorimeter. The accord between the |
419 |
|
two simulations is excellent. Many thanks to Mirko for his collaboration. |
420 |
|
|
421 |
|
Working in progress on TRD. The GARFIELD interface to the HEED program is not |
422 |
|
optimized to track particle with a charge greater than one and photons. The |
423 |
|
program print a warning message to advise the user when it is the case. |

|
The buffer size of each column of the GPAMELA Ntuple has been increased to |
428 |
|
4096 and set equal to the record length, defined by a call to the HROPEN |
429 |
|
routine. |
430 |
|
Also the length of the common /PAWC/ (parameter NWPAW) has been increased |
431 |
|
to 1.34E8, according to the rule that it has to be larger than the number |
432 |
|
of columns times the buffer size. |

|
The variables in the HIT STRUCTURE of the CALORIMETER and their way to be |
437 |
|
filled have been changed according to the electronics system of the real |
438 |
|
detector. In fact, because each silicon detector (module) consists of |
439 |
|
32 strips and each strip is connected to those belonging to the two detectors |
440 |
|
of the same row (or column) for forming 24 cm long strips, the sum of the |
441 |
|
deposited energies in the strips forming a `long strip' is now calculated for |
442 |
|
each event (gpucal.F subroutine) and it is stored in a hit only at the |
443 |
|
end of the event (gutrev.F subroutine). |
444 |
|
The output variables of the GPAMELA en-tuple are then filled in the vectors |
445 |
|
ICAPLANE(NTHCAL), ICASTRIP(NTHCAL), ENESTRIP(NTHCAL) and ICAMOD(NTHCAL), |
446 |
|
by a call to the GPDCAL subroutine: |
447 |
|
-ICAPLANE(i) contains the number of hit plane; |
448 |
|
-ICASTRIP(i) contains the number of hit strip; |
449 |
|
-ICAMOD(i) can assume different values based on the number of times and |
450 |
|
positions in which a `long strip' has been hit. |
451 |
|
-ENESTRIP(i) contains the deposited energy in the hit strip; |
452 |
|
where i is the number of hit (1<i<4224). |
453 |
|
Note that in the calorimeter each hit is filled at the end of the event and |
454 |
|
that there is a hit for each `long strip' hit from |
455 |
|
the particle. This use of the hit structure is different for the other |
456 |
|
detectors and it has been considered to avoid a too big number of hit in the |
457 |
|
calorimeter due to the showers. Follows that NTHCAL, which is the |
458 |
|
max number of hit in the calorimeter, is equal to 4224, the total |
459 |
|
number of `long strips'. So, for each event, the real number of hit will |
460 |
|
be less or equal to 4224. |
461 |
|
ICAMOD(i) is an additional information that does not exist in the real |
462 |
|
detector: if the strip i (i=1,32) of the module 1 or 2 or 3 |
463 |
|
is hit, the value of ICAMOD(i) is respectively incremented of 1, 100, 10000. |
464 |
|
Analogously it is done, if it is the strip j (j=33,64) of the modules 4, 5 |
465 |
|
and 6 or if it is the strip k (k=65,96) of the modules 7, 8 and 9. |
466 |
|
For example if we consider the hit 1 of an event, we could read: |
467 |
|
ICASTRIP(1)=30, ICAPLANE(1)=21, ENESTRIP(1)=0.5E-03 and ICAMOD(1)=10001. |
468 |
|
It means that the hit 1 contains the information that in the strip 30 of the |
469 |
|
plane 21 has been deposited a total energy of 0.5E-03 GeV. In addition the |
470 |
|
`long strip 30' has been hit two times, one in the first module and the |
471 |
|
other in the third one. |
472 |
|
|
473 |
|
The energy deposited in the calorimeter is calculated in GeV. |
474 |
|
|
475 |
|
To store the hits in the calorimeter the subroutine GSAHIT is used instead of |
476 |
|
GSCHIT. |
477 |
|
|
478 |
|
To retrieve the hit structure the call to the routine GPRHIT is done instead |
479 |
|
of a call to the GFHITS subroutine. |
