Some simulation studies have already been conducted.

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

• First Cooling Studies
• cooling plate thickness LINK!!!

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 or LINK!!!!
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 (LINK!!!).

The acceptance for different incoming particle energies with different thresholds was studied. See LINK!!!. Therefore the rootmacro /primasoft/geant4/rootmacros/acceptance.C was used. The rootmacro already outputs a 3d histogram for the acceptance.
