Deuteron photodisintegration simulations
Previous ] Home Page ] Back ]

 

Simulations of the deuteron photodisintegration reaction and for its background have been performed using the LNF  EG for photoreactions, Gsim and finally Recsis. We ran the Gsim code for 600 MeV, 1.5 GeV and 2 GeV of photon energies. The following plots refer to the 1.5 GeV simulation.

paw018.gif (13531 bytes) Missing mass spectrum for gamma d -> p X(n) versus teta in the CLAS system. The black points are from the generated sample while the green points are from the reconstruction of the generated sample. The red points comes from another simulation which includes only the channels with a nucleon and a pion in the final state as:
(gamma-p (n) ---> pi0 p (n)) and  (gamma-n (p) ---> pi- p (p))

Lower plot: Comparison between generated proton momentum and reconstructed proton momentum (blue line). The low energy peak corresponds to the case in which the gamma interacts with the neutron and the proton goes out with small momentum and it is not reconstructed.
