SctParSim
A parametric simulation is a tool to receive a detector response without detailed description of interaction of particles with matter. The simulation is the part of the Aurora project, which is a software suit for SCTF.
Implemented detector subsystems:
- drift chamber
- FARICH PID system
- calorimeter
- muon system
The parametric simulation yields the detector response in the SCT EDM format thus allowing to analyze its result in the same manner as the result of the full simulation. The tracker and the calorimeter smear particle parameters according to a Gaussian distribution, while the FARICH PID and the muon subsystem use for that purpose the results of a pre-conducted standalone full Geant4 simulations.
How-to use the parametric simulation is demonstrated here

Parameterization
Drift chamber
The track resolution is described here.
The parametric simulation has two options in the tracker to the particle identification: an ionisation clusters counting (dNcl/dx) and dE/dx. The model of calculation the specific number of ionization clusters is taken from a TraPID option by F. Gracagnolo (The presentation on "Joint Workshop on Future tau-charm factory" in December 4--7, 2018). An energy losing is calculated using the resolution model from BaBar experiment.
Momentum resolution as a function of momentum depending on polar angle for π+
The dependence of the dE/dx on the momentum in the tracker system
The dependence of the specific number of ionization clusters on the momentum in the tracker system
FARICH PID system
The FARICH PID system works using the results of the full GEANT4 simulation. The system output is the particle speed and number of photons.
The dependence of the particle β factor on the momentum in the FARICH PID system
The dependence of the number of photoelectron on the βγ factor in the FARICH PID system for different angles (black - 10°, red - 30°, green - 45°)
Calorimeter
The calorimeter resolution is 
, the coefficients (e0, e1 etc.) are taken from the D. Epifanov presentation on Super C-Tau factory workshop in May 27, 2018.
There are two cluster sizes to gammas / electrons and other particles.
Reconstruction
The cross-linking data obtained by the track system and the calorimeter is implemented. This is implemented taking into account the geometric intersection of the calorimeter clusters.
The algorithm for the cross-linking data obtained by the track system and the calorimeter:
- union of geometrically intersecting calorimetric clusters
- finding a match between calorimetric clusters and tracks
- recalculating cluster characteristics (time, energy, cluster size, conversion point)
The reconstruction efficiency for different particle types
Muon system
The muon system works using the results of a reconducted stand-alone simulation on G4BeamLine. The system is a cylinder of eight absorber and sensitive polystyrene layers. The absorber is iron.
