The barrel was first defined as 24 empty volumes (containers). In one of these volumes we implemented the base cell which describes
one layer of lead, fibers and glue. This cell was replicated 199 times in this volume, to build a rectangular section part of the main
trapezoid module (Fig. 9, left), the same idea
was used to build a single module with rectangular shape, and this base cell
was replicated 200 times in each of the remaining 23 modules (see Fig. 10).
A program code with lattice transformation that performs a rotation and 200 translations for each
module can be examined in appendix A. The remaining two triangle areas in the
first module are filled with the real structure of lead, fibers and glue
cylinder. These two regions were then replicated at the corresponding
positions in the remaining modules, through a single
rotation for each module (Fig. 9, left)
The left panel of Fig. 9 presents
details of the edge area between the base module and the first
replicated area on its right side. In the right panel of
Fig. 9 the energy deposits in the
scintillating fibers at the edge of modules are
presented. The figure was obtained for uniformly distributed photons.
