Monte Carlo simulation of Energy Loss in the Proportional Chambers near the Target for Different PC Gases

Maxim Vasiliev, 3 April, 2003

MC simulations of muon energy loss in the PC5 and PC6 just upstream the target are presented. Calculations performed for different gas mixtures. Effect of limited energy resolution taken into account in simulations.

Addendum, May 16, 2003:

Attached are .ps files with some results from MC simulations for CF4/Iso gas mixture with poor energy resolution (a=1.22, a=1.66 and a=2.1) done on the Dave Gill request.
