NLC Backgrounds

Machine Backgrounds:•Synchrotron Radiation•Muon production at collimators•Direct Beam Loss

•Beam-Gas•Collimator edge scattering

•Neutron back-shine from Dump

IP Backgrounds:•Compton Backscatter•Coherent Interactions

•Disrupted primary beam•Beamstrahlung photons

•Incoherent Interactions•e+e- pair production•Radiative Bhabhas•Hadrons from interactions

comparable to e+e- backgrounds except for neutron flux from dump:

2x1011 hits/cm2/yr in VXD rad hard SVX electronics

Defines extraction aperture

Defines minimum beampipe envelopeDrives inner detector occupancyImpacts detector integration time

Beam-Beam Interactions

• Coherent (particle-field interactions) Disruption

• Incoherent (particle-particle interactions) Processes

•Beamstrahlung (energy)•Forward gamma- <E>=30 MeV

•Pinch/Deflection (direction)•Transverse kick > 500 rad

• ee eee+e- (Landau-Lifshitz)• e ee+e- (Bethe-Heitler)• e+e- (Breit-Wheeler)• hadrons

Page 4: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

• A little more going on than in the e+e- collisions…

• CAIN simulates Compton backscattering and beamstrahlung/pinch (coherent effects) and electromagnetic incoherent effects

– Beams consist of e+,e-,after backscatter – Beam profile nearly unaffected by backscatter– Beam not monochromatic after backscatter – Beam diverges after passing through oncoming beam

Nine colliders in one!

Interaction Region

Page 5: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

-Not all electrons interact with laser -Straggling caused mostly by backscatters

-Compton backscattered photons not monoenergetic

-Oppositely charged particles produced primarily as photons converts in oncoming E-field

Beam Energy Profiles

Coherent Effects Define Extraction Line

• Most power exits as spent beams

• e+e- aperture too small for IR beam extraction

• Extraction line aperture is 8cm diameter at 4m from IP

Page 7: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Displacement of Spent Beams

• Crossing angle responsible for downward trend of beam

• ~8 GeV is minimum energy of electron after Compton Backscatter

• Less than 2% of spent beam particles have energy less than 25 GeV

Interactions with faceplate cannot be shielded

Page 8: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Deflection of Spent Beams

• 20 mrad extraction line aperture (8cm diameter/400cm from IP) accommodates IR

• Larger aperture exposes VXD to dump (2x1011 hits/cm2/yr)

• Use rad hard VXD electronics

• Some particles (low energy) are not pointing into the dump

Page 9: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

e+e- Pairs Can Be Soft

• Disrupted beams and beamstrahlung photons exit through the extraction line– Not enough pt/pz to interact with

anything near the IP

• “soft” e+e- pairs curl in the detector’s solenoidal magnetic field– They can interact with objects near the

IP

• ee eee+e- (Landau-Lifshitz)• e ee+e- (Bethe-Heitler)• e+e- (Breit-Wheeler)

Page 10: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Curling sprays particles onto the front face of the magnets

• Hard e+e- pairs– Travel down the beampipe away

from the IP• Soft e+e- pairs

– Curl in the magnetic field– Impact the front face of the final

quad and other material

• Neutrons from soft e+e- pairs is negligible compared to flux from dump through enlarged extraction aperture

Page 11: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

e+e- Pairs Define the Beampipe Radius

• e+e- pairs are focused/defocused by the beam particles

• Curling in the solenoidal magnetic field forms a hard edge that the beam pipe must avoid.

• Results nearly the same for both IRs

• Large production pt events spray into detector

Page 12: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Mirrors Require Larger Beampipe

• e+e- pairs from IP do not require larger beampipe

• Larger diameter beampipe near masks required to accommodate final focus mirror

• Opto-mechanical system for laser placed outside the e+e- aperture and does not induce extra backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

• CAIN simulates Compton backscatter and electromagnetic beam-beam effects– Extraction line– Beampipe envelope– VXD placement/detector integration time

• PYTHIA used to simulate hadronic backgrounds from discrete weak and strong interactions between beam particles– CAIN geometric luminosity files are multiplied by PYTHIA cross

sections to calculate total luminosity distributions for each collision type

– Total luminosity distributions are normalized to arrive at event probability distributions for event generation in PYTHIA

Hadronic Beam Interactions

CAIN Geometric Luminosity Files

- CAIN generates 9 geometric luminosity files, one for each type of collision

Photons have Structure

• Three types of collisions

– Direct

– Once resolved

– Twice resolved

“”=0.99 + .01

PYTHIA Parameterized Cross Sections

• PYTHIA used to determine cross sections as a function of center of mass energy for each type of collision.– Resolved processes dominate

@500 GeV CM 68% twice resolved17% once resolved15% all others

Page 19: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

Energy Flow of Background Events

• 95 bunches in 1 train

• Energy nearly split between barrel and endcaps– cos()<0.7 is barrel– cos()<0.9 is endcap

• This could be a problem

Page 20: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Higgs Impact

• 2-jet higgs analysis• Resolved photon backgrounds are

embedded in signal events– Bias in mass (~10% per bunch)– Degrades width (~7% per bunch )

• Complete simulation required to assess full impact– Pattern recognition– B-tagging

Resolved photon backgrounds will drive detector/electronics decisions for experiment

Page 21: NLC  gg  Backgrounds

NLC - The Next Linear Collider Project

Conclusions

• backgrounds impose no new constraints on machine design– What works for e+e- will work for

• Beam dump is primary source of neutrons after extraction aperture enlarged (VXD has direct line of sight to dump)– Rad hard electronics needed to handle the neutron flux

• e+/e- pairs are the dominant source of “trackless” charged hits in VXD– Reduced integration time or increase placement radius

• Twice resolved photons a large unwanted source of energy flow into detector– Reduce integration time to a few bunch crossings

Outlook

• Once the machine parameters are “fixed” and the laser opto-mechanical system finalized, a full simulation and audit of the IR will need to be completed

• Detector/electronics designed for reduced integration time will need to be studied

• Full impact of backgrounds in detector must be understood – Full GEANT simulation– Complete pattern recognition and track reconstruction packages– Kalman fitter, vertexing and b-tagging packages
