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:

• First Cooling Studies
• Front Cooling Plate

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.
