1/ TofBeta ( 1 / β)

Δβ-1 / β-1|E = [β-1TOF - β-1TPC] / β-1TOF ,, where β-1TPC = EE / P = √(m2E / p2 +1)
********************** ***************************
1 / βTOF is used fot PID purpose. Below is the distribution of E /P vs 1 / βTOF after applying TPC PID cuts (nSigmaPion and nSigmaElectron) Real electron tracks should peak around β =1 . By looking at the distribution it seems the signal is pretty much isolated. And the block of events where E /P >1.5 kind of indicates that they could also be real electron tracks because those tracks also have 1 / βTOF ~1 . If they were mis-matched pilu up tracks they couldnot have 1 / βTOF ~1 .
Here's and distribution of E / P vs Δβ-1 / β-1|E . Ideally the mean of this distribution should be 0 . Again theres block of events with E / P > <E/P> which also with in the mean of Δβ-1 / β-1|E .
Here's some more other distributions of TOF parameters.
