Simulation Studies

Some simulation studies have already been conducted.

Relative Energy Resolution:
The effect of different cooling types and thicknesses on the relative energy resolution can be seen here:

The simulated data can be found here https://seafile.rlp.net/#group/43/lib/5dd1331f-9972-4e65-9c84-cc84939e5c82/PrimaSoftSimulation or on himster (/lustre/miifs05/scratch/him-emp/sahra/prima/).
The relative energy resolution for every crystal is obtained by filling a histogram for every crystal and plotting the novosibirsk function. See /primasoft/geant4/rootmacros/energy_res.C.
When the rootmacro is executed, a .txt file is produced, where the energy resolution for every crystal is stored. For visualisation purposes, a python script was written (/primasoft/geant4/rootmacros/python/energy_res.py).

Acceptance:
The acceptance for different incoming particle energies with different thresholds was studied, see Acceptance.
Therefore the rootmacro /primasoft/geant4/rootmacros/acceptance.C was used. The rootmacro already outputs a 3d histogram for the acceptance.
