Simulation of the RIBRAS Facility with GEANT4.

A Geant4 simulation code was developed to perform realistic simulations of the RIBRAS facility. A second-order expansion of a finite solenoid field was included to describe the beam optics with good precision. A systematic study of coil currents for several magnetic rigidities and focal points was performed. Parameterizations of the coil currents for single and dual mode operations were obtained. Dedicated routines were developed to simulate the mechanism of direct reactions involving two and three particles in the final state. The present simulations were employed to investigate the feasibility of a Solenoidal Spectrometer with the RIBRAS facility. Our first results indicate that the concept can be applied in the RIBRAS system under certain conditions. Forthcoming studies both from simulations and experiments are already under development.
