Simulation work on Slieve Slit Geometry for the upcoming Hypernuclear Experiment in Hall C at Jefferson Lab

Accurate modeling of slieve slit performance is essential for optimizing momentum resolution and particle identification in the upcoming hypernuclear spectroscopy experiment in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. This study presents a computational analysis of slieve slit geometries using CERN ROOT to model beam profiles, optimize slit configurations, and quantify their impact on event reconstruction. Simulations were performed for both the hadron (HKS) and electron (HES) spectrometers to evaluate slit response and reconstructed focal-plane distributions. Ongoing work extends the analysis to include hadronic background effects, accounting for punch-through and scattering processes that contribute to flat background levels in the HKS arm. The results provide critical insight into background suppression strategies and guide the mechanical design parameters for the final experimental configuration. This computational framework also establishes a reproducible approach for future spectrometer component studies in hypernuclear physics.
