Implementation of a realisic detector response in the CBM TRD simulation framework — •Cyrano Bergmann — Institut für Kernphysik WWU, Münster, Deutschland

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is a fixed target heavy-ion experiment at the future FAIR accelerator facility. The CBM Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) is one of the key detectors to provide electron identification and charged particle tracking. Two CBM TRD prototype modules of 59×59 cm² were built in Münster. They were tested during October 2012 in beam at the CERN Proton Synchroton (PS) with electrons and pions of momenta up to 8 GeV/c. The results of this in beam test were used to define a realistic detector response in the CbmRoot simulation framework. We present a comparison of simulation benchamrks with results from the in beam tests.
