NOTE: sorry the original post got accidentally deleted ( the wonders of drupal), the old address was : "http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog-entry/melnimr/2008/oct/06/qa-run-8-production-dau-zvpd-ztpc-minuitvf "

Using the calibrated VPD (local file) for few runs in dAu (9025065 -9027087)  I was able to have some QA plots :

I limited the number of MuDst files to 100  "new StMuDstMaker(0,0,"",file,"MuDst",100) " since I am running it interactively and it runs out of memory and gets killed by the kernel.

For HT0 trigger (210500   2.4GeV,
http://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/common/common2008/trigger2008/triggers2008.html):

Out of 17k events where a VPD and a TPC vertex exit  ,14k match within
20cm,

=====>  17k/14k = 84.4 %

 

P.S : the # of entries on the first histogram is for all events including ones without a vpd vertex (so 17k is a subset of that ).

NOTE: Jan Baleski noted that the horizontal correlation is due to pile up.

*To-Do:*

Running the bfc on dAu using MinuitVF but have PCT tracks removed to
compare with PPV on "steroids".
