Fast Simulation Details in MAENTOUCH Simulation by Giles Qu. and Pascal Vernin
MAENTOUCH Simulation by Giles Qu. and Pascal Vernin allows for fast simulations with small details like mu-metal wires, featuring expert contributions for validation and optimization using soft iron materials. The simulations cover various geometries, validation of computed stray fields, and combinations of soft iron boxes with IN20 walls. Additionally, mu-metal shielding around PMTs is explored for effective electromagnetic field containment.

MAENTOUCH Simulation Giles Qu m ner IN2P3/LPC Caen Written in C++ in the ROOT-Cern framework Allow fast simulations with small details like mu-metal wires. Expertise from Pascal Vernin Retired from CEA Saclay Many thanks to Pascal and Gilles for their help 1

Principle First validation of computed stray field: comparison with the field map provided by IN20 + independent calculations by P. Vernin: First trial with standard steel showed that this material is not efficient enough. all simulations used soft iron. No real _r curve implemented. Instead a rather safe _r = 2000 is used and saturation (B>1.5 T) is checked in all cells. 5
Combination of soft iron box and IN20 wall Box (mm) Wall (mm) Saturation In wall Force on coils (N) Max field (G) 6 6 yes - 4 8 no - 1.6 G 6 8 no 165 1.3 G 6 10 no 173 1.2 G 6
Combination of soft iron box and IN20 wall Example of 4 mm box, 8 mm wall 7
Mu-metal Shielding Mu-metal cylinder around the PMTs: 1.1 mm thick = 219 mm h extended from 201 to 280 mm (but almost no effect at the level of the cathode and first dynode) x xx B vs Z computed along 3 different lines 5 cm mesh 8

Iron + Mu-metal boxes External box, outside the shielding structure Mu-metal box, tight to the inner face of the polyethylene 11
Iron + Mu-metal boxes External box, outside the shielding structure Mu-metal box, fixed to the inner face of the polyethylene 13
Margins Tried different thicknesses of iron and mu-metal. Meet the specification of 0.1 G between 6 and 8 mm of iron combine with 1 to 1.5 mm of mu- metal. Current design with 10 mm iron + 1.5 mm mu- metal. ~0.5 G inside the detector could be acceptable The design provide some margin but we are sensitive to gaps between plates at the 2 mm level 14
