This page provides details on the status of COCOA simulations at FNAL.It offers a description for how paramters are defined, 3D (VRML) models of the simulation geometry, and some  results when available.

 
 
 

Definition of Simulation Parameters

   

• Chamber Definition and Simulation Conventions



• ME Chamber Layouts (all .eps files)

VRML Files

These files provide an interactive 3D view of the simulation.Files are somewhat non-standard VRML 1.0/2.0 format.You will need VRMLView 3.0 (Linux, Win, IRX support) to view the files.Other VRML viewers don?t work quite as well.

• Latest simulation model (.wrl)

Results

Simulations of large systems and small systems compare within 5%.Present work is involved with understanding the relationships between the final reconstructed location of the CSC chambers and the uncertainties on the parameter put into the system.Understanding this should be helpful in optimizing the construction and placement of components.

Some first results for ME+/-1 and ME+/-2
