A simple simulation for the nnΛ search experiment at JLab

How to used the Monte Carlo Simulation

  1. Download the following source files:
    nnL_simuation_20170504.tar.gz
  2. Compile:
    $ make
  3. Specify input parameters in "input.dat":
    * QFdata: test_kaon_he3_goga3.root ← ROOT file for QF Λ
    * QF_Num: 4000 ← the number of events of QF Λ (0--100000)
    * SpecReso_FWHM(MeV): 2 ← detector resoution
    * nnL_Num: 120 ← the number of events of nnΛ
    * NatWidth_FWHM(MeV): 0.5 ← the natural width of the nnΛ state
    * BL(MeV): -0.5 ← assumed BΛ for the nnΛ state
    * Acc_per_1MeV: 2.45 ← Accidental background events per 1 MeV according to the previous experiment, JLab E91-016
  4. Run the simulation:
    $ ./nnL_simulation
