Data samples and colour coding

  1. black Pythia QCD Monte-Carlo with Pro-Pt0 tune (pytune=329),   partonic pt 9-15
  2. red    Pythia QCD Monte-Carlo with Perugia0 tune (pytune=320), partonic pt 9-15

Event selection

Ran full Pythia+GSTAR simulation and require at least one
reconstucred  EEMC photon candidate in the gamma Maker.

Figure 1:
Left: Reconstructed photon candidate transverse momentum (no normalization factor applied)
Right: ratio of Pro-Pt0/Perugia0 simulations (solid Line: "a+b*x" fit to ratio)
Event selections: require at least one reconstucred EEMC photon candidate

Figure 2:
Same as in Fig. 1 with different event selection criteria:
L2E-gamma, |v_z| < 120cm, at least one EEMC gamma candidate
