Hi Folks: Just in case the Monte-Carlo gods do not favor giving Qweak more rate or we just want to be "greedy" I would like to toss the following detector layout concept into the "to be simulated" pile. The attached pdf file should be self explanatory. I note that even 2 inches of quartz does not start a significant shower so a limited overlap of bars should do no harm if one remembers to correct the statistics according to the percent of overlap. Also, now the PMT's can be very simply end mounted behind the shielding. Don't get excited about the shielding construction as I beleive we can make it work too. This arrangement might allow us to significantly increase both the theta and phi acceptance, if we need to. Best Regards Roger pdf of Roger's figure![]()
