500 GeV Fragmentation Function Analysis Plan

The Plan

Step 1: Unmatched Corrections

  • Correct full detector-jet spectrum for underlying event contributions
  • Correct pion-in-jet spectrum for underlying event contributions
  • Correct full detector-jet spectrum to remove detector jets that do not match to a particle jet
  • Correct pion-in-jet spectrum to remove events that do not match to a pion-in-jet at the particle-jet level

Step 2: Unfolding

  • Unfold full jet pT spectrum, regardless of pions
    • Use RooUnfold Bayesian for 1-D unfolding
  • Unfold pion-in-jet spectrum, e.g. in terms of jet pT, pion z, pion jT
    • Use RooUnfold Bayesian for 2-D or 3-D unfolding, TBD

Step 3: Efficiency Correction

  • Correct full jet reconstruction efficiency using embedded Monte Carlo
  • Correct full pion-in-jet reconstruction efficiency using embedded Monte Carlo

First Look at Unfolding

For this first look, I do the following analysis:

  • Loop over events
    • Select events with M.C. |zvtx| < 30 cm (not sure about this one)
      • Loop over particle jets
        • Select jets with |η| < 0.5

Figure 1: Jet Efficiency Corrections

Figure 1 shows (left) the ratio of "matched" particle jets to "all" particle jets vs. particle-jet pT and (right) the ratio of "matched" detector jets to "all" detector jets vs. detector-jet pT. Jets were subject to the selection criteria described above.

Figure 2: Migration Matrix

Figure 2 shows the migration matrix based upon matched detector jets, as described above.

Figure 3: Unfolded Jet Spectra

Figure 3 shows the jet pT spectra for particle jets with |η| < 0.5 (green), uncorrected VPDMB data (blue) with selection criteria as described above, and unfolded VPDMB data (red). The unfolding was done with the Bayesian algorithm in RooUnfold with four iterations, passing it the migration matrix from Fig. 2 and entering "0" for both the "measured" and "truth" fields in RooUnfoldResponse. This is because I wanted to handle the inefficiency and "fakes" corrections by hand. All spectra and uncertainties were scaled by 1/bin width. The particle-jet spectrum is normalized to the data yield within the range 6-55 GeV/c. Note: this means that for this first pass, I essentially have no buffer bins for the unfolding. Before unfolding, data were scaled by the matched-detector-jet fractions from Fig. 1 (right) to correct the yield for unmatched detector jets. After unfolding, the data were scaled by the inverse of the matched-particle-jet fractions from Fig. 1 (left) to correct the yield for unmatched particle jets.
