Simulations concerning the design of a general purpose detector for use at the proposed HESR project at GSI Darmstadt — •V. Hejny — Institut für Kernphysik, Forschungszentrum Jülich
A Conceptual Design Report for a major new international
facility at GSI Darmstadt1 has recently been published.
One part covers the installation of a High-Energy Storage Ring
(HESR), in which antiprotons in a momentum range between 1.5 GeV/c and
15 GeV/c can be stored. This will allow experiments, for example,
concerning charmonium spectroscopy, the search for hybrids and
glueballs and the interaction of hidden and open charm particles
with nucleons and nuclei. It is proposed to use a modular
general-purpose spectrometer, which meets all basic requirements
for these investigations. This has to be proved by doing
a detailed Monte-Carlo simulation of the detector system.
These simulations are done using the OO-based package Geant4
together with Pluto++ for primary event generation and Root
for further data analysis in an integrated environment.
After the presentation of the current design of the detector
- based on the physics goal - and its basic features,
the implementation of the simulation and first results
are discussed.
