Raw simulation data of response of the PATE particle telescope to electrons

The dataset consists of multiple files, one incident energy per file. The electron distribution is spherically symmetric, the simulated particles are radiated from the inner surface of a sphere with a radius of 10 cm which encloses the entire telescope assembly. The initial angular distribution of the electrons is Lambertian uniform. 

File naming schema: e_MONO_{ENERGY, MeV}_MeV_{COUNT, pcs}_count_{SERIAL NUMBER}.dat 

For example, a file with a serial number 665 which contains data for 2.4E+8 simulated electrons with 70 keV energy is named "e_MONO_00.07_MeV_240000000_count_665.dat"

The data structure is the following:

Each line represents a detected particle. The detection means that a particle (including secondaries) deposited at least 50 keV at least in one of the sensitive silicon volumes. From the particle telescope view, there is no means to distinguish between particle flavors at the time of ionization and readout, thus no secondaries are treated separately.

The particle record has 11 fields with signed decimal floating point values. The fields are separated by a single tab character ('\t'). There is no tab at the end of the line, the line ending is UNIX ('\n')

The first eight floats are deposited energies in the sensitive silicon volumes of the detectors in the detector stack of the PATE instrument. They come in the following order: D1a D1b D1c D2a D2b D3 AC1 AC2. The next is the angle between the telescope axis and the incident particle momentum as seen by the D1 plate, or -888.0 in case D1 has less than 50 keV of deposited energy. The next field is the angle between the telescope axis and the incident particle momentum at the starting point. All angles are in degrees. The last field is redundant, it contains the incident particle energy in MeV.

Example:

0       0       0.050963        0       0       0       0       0       12.728  8.9272  0.055

This line represents a 55 keV particle detection, which has deposited 50.963 keV in the D1c detector. The particle was shot at 8.9272 degrees to the telescope axis, at the time it crossed the border of the sensitive volume it had a momentum direction at 12.728 degrees to the telescope axis.
