Run 8 Pions

Initial look at the Run 8 pion analysis

Data Set: STAR 2008 pp data

   - I used the following query conditions in the file_catalog for this study: 

        trgsetupname=ppProduction2008,production=P08ie,filetype=daq_reco_MuDst,filename~st_physics,tpc=1,sanity=1

Trigger: etot-mb-l2

The analysis was done using the same algorithm and cuts used in Weihong He's final analysis of the Run 6 data.

Figure 3: Seed distance between 2 clusters Figure 4: Reconstructed PT vs Mass
Figure 5: Reconstructed Eta vs Mass Figure 6: Zvertex vs Mass
Figure 7: Z gamma-gamma vs Mass Figure 8: Transverse Energy of every point candidate
Figure 9: Reconstructed Point candidates geometry in EEMC Figure 10: Delta_U vs Delta_V of SMD clusters w/o Mass cut
Figure 11: Delta Eta of the two points vs Inv. Mass of the Pi0 Figure 12: Delta Phi of the two points vs Inv. Mass of the Pi0
