Neutron/photon discrimination

Beni showed some plots from simulated data indicating the discriminating power of the BCAL between neutrons and photons. The plots were uploaded recently and missing some labels:

  • Red = neutron
  • Black = photon
  • x-axis:
    • bins 1-4 represent the number of neighboring readout cells that fired
    • bin 5 represents


BCAL energy/time Resolution Comparison to 2006 beam test

BCAL Reconstructed Time Resolution

Action Items

  1. Look at π(1600) events with higher proton mass to see if better proton/pion separation exists for the 1234 than 334 scheme. (Paul)
  2. Add more labels and more angles to plots showing neutron/photon discriminating power (Beni)
  3. Resolve issues with extracting proton timing resolutions from existing MC (David)
  4. Write ITYS section of minutes (George)
