Simulation and reconstruction for the PANDA Barrel DIRCRoman Dzhygadlo1, Klaus Götzen1, Harphool Kumawat1,2, •Maria Patsyuk1,3, Klaus Peters1,3, Carsten Schwarz1, Jochen Schwiening1, and Marko Zühlsdorf1,3 for the PANDA collaboration — 1GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt — 2Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai — 3Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

Charged particle identification for a wide momentum range is an essential task for the PANDA experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI, Darmstadt. Hadronic particle identification in the barrel region of PANDA will be performed by a DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) counter. The design of this detector is based on the successful BABAR DIRC and has a number of key improvements, such as focusing optics, compact expansion volume, and fast timing. A detailed simulation was developed to optimize the Barrel DIRC design in terms of performance and cost.

A fast reconstruction procedure, based on the look-up tables, was used to determine the single photon Cherenkov angle resolution and photon yield. This contribution describes the procedure and presents a quantitative comparison of the performance of several design options.

Work supported by EU FP7 grant, contract number 227431, HadronPhysics2, and the Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research HGS-HIRe.
