- For each MCIntegratingHit including particles with Z > 1, store:
- Flag indicating Z > 1 present
- Ein for each particle with Z > 1
- Eout for each particle with Z > 1
- Z for each particle with Z > 1
- If, in a single MCIntegratingHit (i.e. for one "cell" in a single xtal), there are N particles with Z > 1:
Wiki Markup E ~effective~ = \[E ~IHit~ -- (? ~i~ (E ~in i~ -- E ~out i~ ))\] + ? ~i~ \[(E ~in i~ -- E ~out i~ ) × Q((E ~in i~ + E ~out i~ )/2 , Z)\] \[1\]- Q(E,Z) is the quenching correction as a function of E and Z, assumed here = 1 for Z = 1
- This formulation assumes that all energy from ionization is deposited locally i.e. that the contribution from longer range delta electrons is negligible
- This assumption has to be tested!
- Note that violation of this assumption causes errors in quenching correction, not errors in deposited energy directly
Wiki Markup The first term in \[1\] is the (approximate) contribution of Z = 1 particlesWiki Markup The second term in \[1\] is the the sum of contributions from all Z > 1 particles contributing to this integrating hit (i.e. in this cell), corrected for quenching
- Note that, due to delta electrons
