Description

Soft photon emission from excited nuclei at the Electron-Ion Collider is a largely unexplored but potentially measurable phenomenon. We are interested in understanding the capabilities of the B0 EM calorimeter to detect and measure these, or any, soft photons.
In the talk, I will explain how we use BeAGLE-generated data of excited Pb Ions, produced from incoherent J/psi production in ePb collisions at a hadron beam energy of 108 GeV/nucleon, to study the soft photons emitted during the de-excitation process and to confirm that the B0 detector has adequate acceptance for such soft photons.
