Simulating Z' boson going to positron electron events at sqrt.s = 40 TeV to evaluate a proposed silicon-scintillating fiber tracking system for SDC

[摘要] Computer simulation is used to study the ability of a proposed silicon-scintillating fiber tracking system for SDC to correctly interpret $Zspprimeo esp+esp-$ events. Two versions of the Lund Monte Carlo model for inelastic non-diffractive events are compared to existing data and then evaluated at $sqrt{s}=40$ TeV. We use the two versions to generate the associated particles in $Zspprimeo esp+esp-$ events and find that the predicted occupancy in the proposed tracking system varies by $approx$50% between the two versions. The tracking system is able to reconstruct the $esp+esp-$ tracks with nearly 100% efficiency in either case. We find that the leptonic asymmetry, $Asb{fb}$ can be accurately measured for $.5le Msb{Zspprime}le 7$ TeV.
