Computing Environment for the Super-Charm- Tau Factory Detector Project

Abstract

The project of the Super Charm-Tau (SCT) factory – a high-luminosity electron-positron collider forstudying charmed hadrons and tau lepton – is proposed by Budker INP. The project implies singlecollision point equipped with a universal particle detector. The Aurora software framework has beendeveloped for the SCT detector. It is based on trusted and widely used in high energy physics softwarepackages, such as Gaudi, Geant4, and ROOT. At the same time, new ideas and developments areemployed, in particular the Aurora project benefits a lot from the turnkey software for future colliders(Key4HEP) initiative. This paper describes the first release of the Aurora framework, summarizes itscore technologies, structure and roadmap for the near future. From the hardware point of view theBudker INP general computing facility (BINP/GCF) providing the required computational and storageresources is described.

The result of simulation studies of a GEM-based TPC for the inner tracker of Super Charm-Tau Factory Detector at BINP

“…a simple sketch of the TPC for the inner tracker is given in 2. A simulation study has been done in detail for the thin TPC using the Aurora framework [5]. The study included the construction of a TPC geometry with a sensitive volume, the selection of suitable gas mixture for TPC, the study of gain with different gas mixtures, the study of spatial resolution in different gas mixtures, the algorithm for digitization, and a track finding algorithm for the particles trajectory reconstruction.…”
