  Dear All,

  see our homework below. I guess question #1 is on Chandra. The problem I see with this question #1 is that a correct cut on the sufficient number of photons is pretty much >=1, as long as we believe that (1) tails of a gaussian / Poissonian distribution are as valid as its core for accounting the statistics, (2) ring finder is able to find small Npe rings as long as noise level is small.

  Concerning #2a, we need a volunteer to build by hand Belle II RINDEX/ABSLENGTH/RAYLEIGH curves from https://github.com/alexander-kiselev/pfRICH/blob/main/database/BelleII.xml .

  Concerning #2b, I'm not sure I understand the question. Is it about the Rayleigh scattering, or so-called forward scattering?

  Please step up to help, and we set up a meeting to discuss the details.

  Regards,

    Alexander.

Subject: bRICH Day 1 Homework

 

Dear all,

 

Thank you for all your hard work and for the presentations today. The review committee has compiled a list of homework questions. If you could reply to all with your answers before the closed session tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated. We can also reserve 5 minutes to discuss the answers before the start of each mRICH/pfRICH session tomorrow, if you would find it useful.

 

I included all speakers in this email, please feel free to add anyone in this email list I may have missed.

 

Thank you,

 

Joe Osborn

Homework for mRICH:

1. Provide transmission curves, clarity, radiation hardness, and any information on the properties of the fresnel lens and the aerogel from beam tests and optical bench tests.
2. Is there detailed or quantitative information about the effect that the photon’s incident angle with respect to the fresnel lens has on its performance (e.g. focusing quality, photon losses)?
3. Are the proponents open to using a different aerogel?

 

Homework for pfRICH

 

1. Please show the acceptance-efficiency curves as functions of eta and phi, respectively, using a cut on a sufficient number of photoelectrons that could achieve the performance results required by the Yellow Report.
2. Please provide general information about the transmission curve and clarity in the aerogel, and the angular distribution of scattering with respect to the primary photon’s direction.
