Mid-rapidity_W_Event_Selection
Goal : To separate small sample of W leptonic decays from the dominant QCD background
Concept : Use the kinematical and topological differences in 2 classes of events .
***********************************
1) Trigger; L2BW
a) level 0: BHT3 threshold of ET > 7:3 GeV in a single BEMC tower
b) level 2 : A seed tower with ET > 5 GeV
c) level 2 : 2 X 2 tower cluster including the seed tower with ET > 12 GeV
**********************************************
2) Primary Vertex; PPV ( at least 2 high quality primary matched track candidates originating from the same Z location or a single primary track with pT > 10 GeV/c matched to the red tower)
a) vertices with |Vz|< 100 cm
b) rank > 0
************************************************
3) isolated Candidate lepton selection in Barrel
i) Primary track
a) Primary track "flag" = 301
b) Primary track nFitPoints > 15
c) Fraction of track hits out of possible track hits > 0.51
d)Radius of the track hit nearest to the beamline < 90 cm
e)Radius of the track hit farthest from the beamline > 160 cm
f) primary track have pT > 10 GeV/c
ii) Primary tracks and cluster Matching
a) EeT > 14 GeV
b) The magnitude of the 2D distance between the energy log-weighted centroid of the tower cluster and the extrapolated track is < 7 cm
iii) Isolating leptons
a) ET(2x2) / ET(4x4) > 95%
********************************************************************************
a) Signed PT-balance > 14 GeV/c
5) Charge sign reconstruction
|Q*ET/PT| > 0.4
|Q*ET/PT| < 1.8
