(Contents)• Hit distributions in BFEM• Two Cosmic Ray Models: with and without 0.6*sin(theta) term in albedo fluxes• Summary
1. CR Generator • Primary p, e-,
• Uniform angular distribution• Secondary p, e-, e+,+,-
• Angular distribution proportional to 1+ 0.6*sin(theta) • Uniform angular distribution (Steve Ritz’s choice)
• Secondary • Angular distribution adjusted to Schoenfelder et al.
2. Physics Simulation (The fixes not implemented yet)3. Digitization (w/charge sharing, w/o noise)4. Conversion to IRF File5. ROOTWriter (Thanks to Heather)
• Analysis (Presented here)• Reconstruction (Yet to be done)

We primarily want to find protons and muons. As these particles normally have straight tracks we can apply the following cuts: •Chi square of < 0.01•Hit in ACD panels•Single tracks only•Number of hits in tracker layers As we have missing silicon in top part of tracker we only look at bottom 16 layers.The above cuts does not include interactions as they produce several recon tracks.

Conclusion: Geant4 for BFEM- Comparison with Distributions in BFEM Data –
(Note)• This work is in progress and hence the report is preliminary.
(Conclusion)• Hit distributions are a powerful way to study the CR composition and angular dist
ribution.• More soft electrons/positrons(E< 20MeV?) to fill the lower portion of the Tracker.• Sharpness of the Earth Rim (as a source of soft gamma rays): BFEM may give a us
eful measurement! • Strength of the sin(theta) component: BFEM may give a constraint!.
