A Monte Carlo program to design a multiple module transition radiation detector

Abstract
A Monte Carlo program to design a transition radiation detector is shown; this program is able to calculate X-ray yields from multiple modules of such a detector taking into account the absorption inside materials eventually interposed between radiators and chambers. In addition the program computes the delta-ray background produced by incident particles.

Title of program: TRD_MULTI_SIM
Catalogue Id: ABTD_v1_0

Nature of problem
We have developed a software package to design a transition radiation detector (TRD) to be used to discriminate fast charged particles from slower ones. Depending on the requirements and constraints from the experiment and on the performance expected for the detector, it is possible to simulate the behaviour of a TRD array of up to 64 modules. For each module (radiator and detector) the number and energy distribution of the X-rays together with background delta rays are calculated. The X-ray flo ...

摘要：本文展示了用于设计过渡辐射探测器（TRD）的蒙特卡洛程序；此程序能够计算由多个探测器模块产生的X射线产量，并考虑了介于辐射器和室之间插入材料中的吸收。此外，程序还能计算由入射粒子产生的δ射线背景。
程序名称：TRD_MULTI_SIM
目录编号：ABTD_v1_0
问题性质：我们开发了一套软件包，用于设计过渡辐射探测器（TRD），以区分快速带电粒子与较慢的粒子。根据实验的要求和限制以及对探测器性能的预期，可以模拟最多64个模块的TRD阵列的行为。对于每个模块（辐射器和探测器），计算X射线的数量和能量分布，以及背景δ射线。
