D0 Reconstruction comparing Helix Swimming (HS) and KFParticle (KF)
Updated on Thu, 2015-04-02 20:13. Originally created by dongx on 2015-04-02 19:41.
About 62M events within |Vz|<6cm from official production.
Common cuts
pT1>1.2, pT2>1.2 GeV/c
dca1>0.008, dca2>0.008
dca12<0.005
For HS reconstruction
cos(theta_hs)>0.995
costhetastar_hs<0.8
For KF fitting,
prob_kf>0.6
costhetastar_kf<0.8
Helix Swimming | KFParticle fit |
For these particular sets of cuts,
HS method gives yield = 673 +/- 73 (9.2 sigma)
KF method gives yield = 624 +/- 61 ( 10.2 sigma)
I am not trying to prove that KF gives a better result. The best performance from each method will still depend on the cuts used. Here I would rather just offer an alternative reconstruction through KFParticle that may provide a cross-check or maybe better result comparing to the conventional HS method.
