A normal output for the G4NuMI hadron/muon monitor data Ntuple has the
following form "nuNtuple_18000_bbbb_E_NoKill.root"
The number 18000 corresponds to the monoenergetic
muon bean used, the
series of b's or B's correspond to the amount of steel in the Absorber
Core gaps, and the letter at the end should be referenced against the
table below and encompasses the rock constituents. The NoKill ending
moniker denotes that the run had the G4NuMI particle kill energy set to
the lowest possible value. The steel used for the BluBlocks and Core
blocks had probably WRONG density of 7.75 g/cm3. The percentage by
weight of the BluBlocks in the G4NuMI was 0.1 C / 0.1 Si / 0.4 Mn /
98.2 Fe / 1.0 Ni / 0.2 Cu and for the Core I used 1018 steel which is
0.2 C / 0.9 Mn / 98.9 Fe.
All runs up to and including _J_ had a rockMat
density of 2.53 g/cm3, DolomiteRock 2.79g/cm3 and Maquoketa Shale
2.79g/cm3. This meant that if the composition of a rock sample was 50%
rockMat (Dolomite w/o water) and 50% Maquoketa Shale the density would
be .5*2.53+.5*2.79 = 2.66g/cm3. But if the density of the rock sample
was 2.80g/cm3 Geant4 scales the amount of Maquoketa Shale and rockMat
by 2.80/2.66, which effectively increases the nuclear Z and increases
energy loss. Also for the steel slabs wedged into the gaps were lined
up with the downstream edge of the last steel Absorber Core block. This
based on a photo in VMS from earlier installation. The last photo
showing any aspect of the steel slabs in the gap have the plates lined
up with the downstream edge of the BluBlocks. The G4NuMI geometry has
now been changed to line up the downstream edges of the steel slabs
with the downstream edge of the BluBlocks.
- b - 52", which is the length of one BluBlock
- B - 26", which is 1/2 the length of a BluBlock
- _bbbb_A.root
- 44.2% Dolomite (rockMat in G4NuMI lingo)
- 52.0% Maquoketa Shale
- 3.8% Water
- Density 2.63 g/cm3
- 208" of steel slab in the gap
- downstream edge of steel slabs in gap matches downstream edge
of Absorber Core.
- _bbbb_B.root is same as _bbbb_A.root with density of 2.8 g/cm3

for the Dolostone density
- downstream edge of steel slabs now matches the BluBlocks, not
the Absorber Core.
- The NoKill of 50MeV is now implied unless stated otherwise
- Geometry is now reflective of 3" shims in Drip Pan vs. the
previous 1"
- There is now a 2" thick steel slab that is 52" wide and is the
length of the 10 steel Absorber core blocks.
- It is exactly placed on the ONLY the steel blocks as per
instructions from Dixon Bogert
- Still unknown is the density of the Al and Stl core blocks as
well as the BluBlocks and concrete
- Al - 7.75 g/cm3
- Stl - 7.75 g/cm3 for BluBlock as well
- concrete - 2.03 g/cm3
- _bb_L.root
- Density for the rock is now upped .03 g/cm3 to 2.82 g/cm3 or
2.858 g/cm3 with the H2O
- _bb_M.root
- Density for the rock is now decreased .04 g/cm3 to 2.75 g/cm3
- _bb_N.root
- Density is the nominal 2.79 g/cm3 for the Shale and Dolomite
- Instead of 44.2/52/3.8 Dolomite/Shale/Water the mixture is
20/76.2/3.8
