Simulations for Kaon Absorption Studies

POSTER

Abstract

The three pieces needed to determine the $\rm{K^{0}_{s}}$ transparency ratios are the kaon yields, the target thickness, and the detector acceptance. This poster will describe our simulations for the neutral kaon acceptance by the CLAS detector for the E01-112 experiment. The experiment was conducted in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility for the purpose of searching for medium modifications of mesons. The reactions are the photo-production of mesons from targets of deuterium, carbon, iron, and lead. Our calculations employ the PLUTO++ software for the generator and GSIM to simulate the detector.
