Monte-Carlo Simulation for an Aerogel Cherenkov Counter

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We have developed a Monte-Carlo simulation code for an aerogel \v Cerenkov Counter which is operated under a strong magnetic field such as 1.5T. This code consists of two parts: photon transportation inside aerogel tiles, and one-dimensional amplification in a fine-mesh photomultiplier tube. It simulates the output photoelectron yields as accurately as 5% with only a single free parameter. This code is applied to simulations for a B-Factory particle-identification system.
