Description

I did some digging on the LiH geometry...

  • Absorber vacuum windows are in place which should not be I think. If they were installed (I guess check with Colin), then use a polycone not the tesselated solid as implemented, to fix the weirdness. The offending geometries are in AFC.gdml as AlAlloy6061_Element_Step_24 and AlAlloy6061_Element_Step_25.
  • The LiH absorber has a ~ 60 mrad misalignment. This seems rather a lot (around 20 mm between one side of the absorber and the other). I rather suspect this is a bug?

Note the windows are also on the "empty" geometry

I agree I doubt they were installed for the lih running.
How about I take those elements out of the LiH & empty-LiH geometries?
And then if Colin says they should be there, do a correct implementation?

& can you post the script you use to make the pretty plot?

Took the Al window physical volumes out of the AFC gdml.

I think the misalignment might be stemming from the issue you found earlier with the LH2 geometry where there was a rotation put in.
I have taken that out for the LiH geometries (Nov/Dec 2017 periods)

For the empty LiH, I've left the Mylar foil in there -- not sure if that belongs.

The geometries are in preprod

LiH-Empty:

python bin/utilities/download_geometry.py -geometry_download_run_number 10299 -geometry_download_directory geo-10299 -cdb_download_url "http://preprodcdb.mice.rl.ac.uk/cdb/"

LiH:

python bin/utilities/download_geometry.py -geometry_download_run_number 10476 -geometry_download_directory geo-10476 -cdb_download_url "http://preprodcdb.mice.rl.ac.uk/cdb/"

Will push to prod if you OK it

I checked by eye and the geometries look okay to me now - thanks!
