Simulations for the HEC Module "0"
(Using HEC-BEAM 3.0)

This is a working area: changes are possible

Last modified March 14, 1999

HEC-BEAM 3.0 - the package to simulate response of the HEC module "0" to charged pions, electrons and muons.

This software is available at MPI under directory:
/home/iwsatlas1/atlas/offline/testbeam/version_3

Simulations can be done in two ways:

Output of simulations is written to FZ-banks (here is the description of the format of FZ-banks).

Example of a code to read FZ-banks is in the directory:
/home/iwsatlas1/atlas/offline/testbeam/version_3/analysis

FZ-files with "raw" Monte Carlo data are available at MPI from the disk:
/at/hec_data/tb_mc_3/banks

File names: cEEEp_S.fx.gz, where
c - particle/shower model code:

EEE - energy,
p - space point,
S - system:

Pions (energy scans)

Experimental data:

Pions at point D: Xcryostat=-10.0 cm, Ytable=8.3 cm
Pions at point I: Xcryostat=10.0 cm, Ytable=-6.7 cm
Pions at point N: Xcryostat=10.0 cm, Ytable=0.0 cm
