Member Function Documentation

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::BirksCorrection ( double dQdX ) const

pure virtual

dQ/dX in electrons/cm, returns dE/dX in MeV/cm.

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::BirksCorrection	(	double	dQdX,
		double	EField
	)		const

pure virtual

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual DetectorPropertiesData detinfo::DetectorProperties::DataFor ( DetectorClocksData const & clockData ) const

pure virtual

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::Density ( double temperature ) const

pure virtual

Returns argon density at a given temperature.

Parameters

temperature the temperature in kelvin

Returns: argon density in g/cm^3

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::Density ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns argon density at the temperature from Temperature()

Definition at line 99 of file DetectorProperties.h.

     {
       return Density(Temperature());
     }

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::DriftVelocity	(	double	efield = `0.`,
		double	temperature = `0.`
	)		const

pure virtual

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::Efield ( unsigned int planegap = 0 ) const

pure virtual

Returns the nominal electric field in the specified volume.

Parameters

planegap volume specification (default: 0, the big drift volume)

Returns: electric field in the volume, in kV/cm

The electric field is "nominal", i.e., a completely uniform field is assumed.

The planegap argument identifies which volume to return the field value for. The relation between planegap and readout plane is not perfectly formalized yet. In general, a good rule is that planegap N describes the volume on the cathode side of wire plane N. This rule is formally valid also for ArgoNeuT/LArIAT, where three wire planes are present. But only two of them are instrumented and read, that are called "readout plane 0" and "readout plane 1", but effectively correspond to planegap 1 and 2.

Note that all TPCs are assumed to have the same electric field values.

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::ElectronLifetime ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the attenuation constant for ionization electrons.

Returns: the attenuation constant [s]

The returned constant τ can be used to know the attenuation the ionization charge undergoes after drifting for a certain time t: $A(t) = e^{-t/\tau}$ (t is measured in microseconds).

This is a uniform, constant value for the detector.

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::ElectronsToADC ( ) const

pure virtual

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::Eloss	(	double	mom,
		double	mass,
		double	tcut
	)		const

pure virtual

Restricted mean energy loss ( $ dE/dx $ )

Parameters

mom	momentum of incident particle [GeV/c]
mass	mass of incident particle [GeV/c^2]
tcut	maximum kinetic energy of delta rays [MeV]; 0 for unlimited

Returns: the restricted mean energy loss (dE/dx) in units of MeV/cm

Returned value is always positive. For unrestricted mean energy loss, set tcut = 0 (special case), or tcut large.

Implemented in detinfo::DetectorPropertiesStandard.

virtual double detinfo::DetectorProperties::ElossVar	(	double	mom,
		double	mass
	)		const

pure virtual

Energy loss fluctuation ( $\sigma_{E}^2 / x$ )

Parameters
