“…Full identification of the fission fragments is made using a ray-tracing method [58] coupled to GEANT4 simulations [59] to reconstruct their mass numbers. In the simulation, we took into account the composition, dimensions, and positions of the detectors, as well as the magnetic field and helium gas inside the dipole magnet ALADIN.…”

The two fragments produced in fission reactions induced by 208 Pb projectiles impinging on a liquid hydrogen target at 500A MeV have been fully identified in coincidence. The experiment was performed at GSI Darmstadt, where the combined use of the inverse kinematics technique with an efficient detection setup permitted one to detect and to fully identify the fission fragments in a range from Z = 27 to Z = 52. The corresponding isotopic cross sections and velocities of the fission fragments were measured with high accuracy. The results are compared to state-of-the-art model calculations that reproduce the measured observables. Correlations between the two fragments were used to assess the role of charge polarization and the excitation energy gained by the nascent fragments using the neutron excess of the final fragments. The analysis of the average velocities of the fission fragments allowed us to parametrize the distance between the two fission fragments at scission as a function of the size of the fissioning system.

“…This tracking model is denoted JBT. To check the validity of the long-term tracking simulations, the lattice has been implemented in the code PyZgoubi [20] which uses the Zgoubi tracking engine [21]. In the PyZgoubi simulation, the step size and fringe field parameters are the same as in the Runge-Kutta simulation.…”

Racetrack FFAG muon decay ring for nuSTORM with triplet focusing

et al. 2018

The neutrino beam produced from muons decaying in a storage ring would be an ideal tool for precise neutrino cross section measurements and the search for sterile neutrinos due to its precisely known flavour content and spectrum. In the proposed nuSTORM facility, pions would be directly injected into a racetrack storage ring, where the circulating muon beam would be captured. In this paper we show that a muon decay ring based on a racetrack scaling FFAG (Fixed Field Alternating Gradient) with triplet focusing structures is a very promising option with potential advantages over the FODO based solution. We discuss the ring concept, machine parameters, linear optics design, beam dynamics and the injection system.

SimTrack is a compact c++ code of 6-d symplectic element-by-element particle tracking in accelerators originally designed for head-on beam-beam compensation simulation studies in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It provides a 6-d symplectic orbit tracking with the 4th order symplectic integration for magnet elements and the 6-d symplectic synchro-beam map for beam-beam interaction. Since its inception in 2009, SimTrack has been intensively used for dynamic aperture calculations with beam-beam interaction for RHIC. Recently, proton spin tracking and electron energy loss due to synchrotron radiation were added. In this article, I will present the code architecture, physics models, and some selected examples of its applications to RHIC and a future electron-ion collider design eRHIC.
