Properties of detectors used in dp breakup experiment investigated at intermediate energies

Abstract

Detector efficiencies are investigated in dp breakup experiment at intermediate energies using collected data from methodical experiment and results obtained by phase space simulation in the ROOT and GEANT4 packages. Two configurations of detectors were used in order to investigate detector’s efficiency of particle registration. Perpendicular configuration is used to investigate detector efficiency as a function of a depth in E - scintillator. Longitudinal configuration is used to investigate possible variation of detector efficiency due to possible misalignment. Reasonable agreement between experimental and modeled results is obtained.
