Inclusive rates for GeN

I have calculated the inclusive rates for GeN using a model of the quasielastic and deep inelastic cross sections. In this model the elastic electron nucleon and inelastic electron nucleon are smeared by a momentum distribution extracted from data. The model does quite well fitting the experimental cross sections and should be considered to be good within 10%.

In order to properly weight the rates from each species, I calculated the luminosity for each speices based on the molecular composition of ND3 and the filling factor of the target gives the amount of the 3 cm target which is occupied by ammonia and helium. I have not considered scattering from the entrance and exit windows.

 

I have calculated the rates at our four kinematic points using the following values of the beam energy and scattering angle.

Below are the plots for the rates in a 15 MeV bin. No consideration of of any processes other than quasielastic or inelastic electron nucleon scattering has been considered.

The red solid line gives the total rate in a 15 MeV bin, while the green, blue and yellow solid lines give the rates from nitrgoen, deuterium and helium respectively.
