Some comments on the eA simulation. M.Klein 11.12.13 ------------------------------------------------------- Basic assumptions: Ee=60 GeV, EPb=2.75 TeV luminosity: 5 10^32 (3 times larger than ultimate in CDR fitting to 1033 --> 1034 ep transition) integrated luminosity: used 1 fb-1 [5 10^32 is 2fb-1/year * 5 years/12 months --> 1fb-1] charge: eminus, polarisation -0.8 (gives 1-(-0.8)=1.8 * more CC) PDF : set 21000 on LHAPDF MSTW 2008 LO (68% C.L.)

NC and CC cross sections are leading order only, no higher order, no radiative corrections. eanucl.nc - neutral current cross sections and rates, no shadowing corr's cross section is the eN=e(p+n)/2 cross section ! table format: format(f8.0,f10.7,f8.4,2f8.1,2f10.5,e10.2,4f6.2,7f6.2) eanucl.cc - charged current cross section and rates, no shad corr's cross section is the eN=e(p+n)/2 cross section ! a simplified but likely ok cross section error estimate table format format(f8.0,f10.6,f8.5,f8.1,f10.5,e10.2,4f8.2)
