Kinematics Analysis Results
This page demonstrates how to embed histograms throughout your documentation using the JsonHistogram component.
Overview
The kinematics analysis examines the momentum distributions and angular correlations of particles in the EIC simulation. Below are key distributions from the 10×100 GeV beam configuration.
Incident Particles
Proton Beam
The incident proton beam shows the expected narrow momentum distribution centered at 100 GeV:
The transverse momentum distribution is very narrow, indicating good beam collimation:
Electron Beam
The 10 GeV electron beam shows similarly good collimation:
Note the negative pz values, as the electron beam travels in the opposite direction:
Scattered Particles
Scattered Electron Kinematics
The scattered electron shows a broad momentum distribution:
The angular distributions provide insight into the scattering dynamics:
Kaon Production
The kaon momentum spectrum reflects the Sullivan process kinematics:
The pseudorapidity distribution shows the forward-going nature of the produced kaons:
Lambda Baryon
The Lambda baryon acts as a spectator in the Sullivan process, carrying most of the initial proton momentum:
The very small angle with the z-axis confirms its forward-going nature:
Summary
These distributions demonstrate the expected kinematics for the Sullivan process at the EIC:
- Well-collimated incident beams
- Broad scattered electron distributions
- Forward-going kaon production
- Lambda baryon as a spectator carrying most of the proton momentum
The JsonHistogram component makes it easy to embed these visualizations directly in the documentation, providing interactive exploration of the data alongside the physics interpretation.
