Advanced Detector Design for Antiproton Interactions: Concepts and Simulations

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the detector requirements and design considerations for studying antiproton interactions. It covers the essential detector components, including microvertex detectors, calorimeters, and particle identification techniques. The simulation aspects discuss the formation and decay of charmed hadrons, focusing on the production of heavy mesons and their decay products. Specific parameters for tracking resolution, momentum resolution, and the use of Cherenkov counters, as well as the innovative use of frozen hydrogen pellets as a target, are detailed, highlighting the complexity and precision required for high-energy physics experiments.

  1. Physics with Antiprotons - Detector - • Detector requirements • Overview of the detector concept • Selected detector components • Simulations

  2. Detector requirements (simulations) Formation of Ψ’and decay in muons • Energy release of charmed hadrons high → large ptrans → large angles • High cm-velocity (fixed target) → high energies → small angles Ψ’→μ+μ- electrons similar → calorimeter for large angles. Ψ’→J/Ψ + X ↓ μ+μ-

  3. Detector requirements (PID) p+p → ΦΦ→ 4K s½ =3.6 GeV • Forward angles need π/K separation up to 3 GeV/c: Cherenkov n=1.02 • Backward: higher value of n.
