Yield
losses at tile boundaries
•Scan with the
beam across the tile boundary. As expected, the yield is affected over a
few mm in the vicinity of the boundary.
•A simple model (all photons hitting the boundary get
lost) accounts for most of the dependence
How to design
radiator tiles: check losses at the tile
boundary.
Reduce the fraction of tracks close to tile boundaries and corners.
