Resolve "Detailed Dual RICH implementation"
A very preliminary dRICh is implemented. There is still room for improvement of the optics, but this geometry represents a decent starting point.
Because this MR is so long, careful attention was made to keep up-to-date with the master branch; the majority of final changes this MR brings are additions only.
Summary of changes in this MR:
- updates to
athena.xml:- include
compact/drich.xmlinathena.xml, replacing the gaseous RICH
- include
- updates to
compact/definitions.xml, to be consistent with latest integration plans (as of 8/3/21)-
ForwardRICH_lenthchanged from 110 cm to 180 cm -
ForwardTracking_lengthchanged from 0 cm to 25 cm
-
- updates to
compact/display.xml:- added some visual properties specific to dRICh; not necessary, but useful; they are colored similar to the ATHENA logo
- updates to
compact/materials.xml:- add
SiliconDioxidematerial; this is because the present materialSiliconOxide, which has the same composition, has a different density (2.65 g/cm3) that what is found forG4_SILICON_DIOXIDEin Geant4 (2.32 g/cm3) (https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/blob/6399a014b611a4aa09ecba225418222dac261ca1/source/materials/src/G4NistMaterialBuilder.cc#L1656) - recommend that all materials in
compact/materials.xmlbe double checked they are correct - also added
PolyvinylAcetateandPlexiglass
- add
- updates to
compact/optical_materials.xml:- added several material properties tables, dumped from
Fun4allstandalone version (theFun4allversion will be the centralized location where we can generate these tables, for now, since the formulas are a bit too complicated to port to this repository)

- Acceptance limitations (maximum eta is grey dashed line, limited by bore radius, minimum eta is red dashed line, limited by reflection of photons off the spherical mirror (to be improved!))
- Notes on spherical mirror placement
