The focusing mirror systemThe focusing mirror system
Preliminary studies with mirrors (to reduce instrumented area): - focalization capabilities shown - ring patterns for positive and negative mesons at different angles and momenta reconstructed
• spherical (elliptical) mirror within gap volume for backward refl. • plane mirror just beyond radiator for forward reflections
Different scenarios (refractive index, radiator thickness, mirror geometry) are being explored

Mirror: 14-25o
PMTs: UBA
Hybrid ring example:
200 trials per point
Aerogel: - n=1.06
- thick. increasing with radius: 2-4-6-8-10 cm
Low angles more challengingThe same with increased number of trials
LH-LHk,p : Mirror 14-25o PMTs: UBA
Protons benefit the smallnumber of unfired PMTs whit expected signal(P is small when C=0)-
200 trials per point
Aerogel: - n=1.06

Mirror is mandatory for positive hadrons and gives benefit for negative hadrons at large angles and small energy
Big dot = studies show in the previous slide

Mirror up to 35o:Worse for positive hadronsBetter for negative hadrons

M35 is acceptanble but slightlyworse for positive and does not improve at large angles ?!
Average N p.e. : Mirror Angle Coverage (UBA)

With 2-10 middle-angles improveWith 3-10 only small angles improve

Semi-reflective Mirror
Different dielectric or thin metalized film toincrease the rflection coefficient at 0o (normal)
Angle dependence stays with similar Brewster angle Here =atan(n2/n1) ~ 64o
Semi-reflective Mirror in Geant 4
R and T defined by n1,n2
Only way so far: fake dielectric materialwith refraction index ~ 5 to modify R/T ratio to fifty-fifty.
Brewster angle ~ 79o
Put at zero Lobe and Back reflection Diffusion
Next: Take lobe and remove spike to play with surface roughness
