NeuLAND: Simulating the venture into uncharted territory — •Jan Mayer1, Konstanze Boretzky2, Michael Heil2, Dmytro Kresan2, Simon G. Pickstone1, Mark Spieker1, and Andreas Zilges1 for the R3B collaboration — 1Institute for Nuclear Physics, University of Cologne — 2GSI Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt
Located at the existing RIB facility GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is currently under construction. One major setup is the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) experiment, exploring the properties of exotic nuclei.
NeuLAND (new Large-Area Neutron Detector) is a next generation neutron detector, featuring both high detection efficiency and high resolution for fast neutrons. The full detector will be composed of 3000 scintillator bars, providing an active volume of almost 19 m3.
Data analysis and simulations are both performed with R3BRoot, the FAIRRoot based data analysis software for R3B. Embracing object oriented concepts of C++11, I/O, physics business logic, and configuration can be separated into individual tasks and classes.
Simulations have been performed to predict the detector performance in different scenarios. Different neutron event reconstruction algorithms and comparisons with experiments performed at GSI and RIKEN (Japan) will be presented.
