Introduction

It is my report for the first look at new test sample of p+p 62.4 GeV (Run 6) reproduced under library SL12a. This sample was done after the issue related to a loss of backward compatibility in reconstruction EEMC and BEMC hits has been fixed. Just for reference and comparison, QA for previous test sample (using SL11d) can be found clicking here.

In this blog, I am showing plots comparing newest reproduction of p+p 62.4 GeV (P12ia) with the original one (P06ie). Others QA plots for event-wise and track parameters is available here.

Basic Information

New production - P12ia (test sample)

Total in MuDst files: ~7 M events.
Minimum bias (MB trigger Id = 147001): ~1.9 M events
MB with at least 1 PV and positive ranking: 550,334 events
MB with at least 1 PV and negative ranking: 1,291,517
MB wit h no PV: 111,936

Original production (P06ie):

Total in MuDst files: ~22 M events.
Minimum bias (trigger Id = 147001): ~7.8 M events.
Minimum bias for same run numbers as in P12i): ~1.9 M
Minimum bias for same run numbers as in P12ia, at least 1 PV and positive ranking: 507,923
Minimum bias for same run numbers as in P12ia, at least 1 PV and negative ranking: 0
Minimum bias for same run numbers as in P12ia and no PV: 1,407,467

Next plots show the comparison between new and original production and they were done using same run numbers. Also, I used only events with positive primary vertex ranking.

Primary Vertex

Ranking: For old production, we have only positive ranking and values at -9999 (flag for events with no primary vertex). In new production, we have 3 ranges.

Close to 1000 x 10³: standard return from StMuPrimaryVertex::Ranking();
Close to 0: scale used was bad to visualize, but all this entries are -9999, that was a flag that I put in my code when no PV was found;
Close to 1000x10³: standard return from StMuPrimaryVertex::Ranking();

All Ranking	Ranking > 0	Ranking < 0 and not -9999

Primary Vertex Position: I show here, the X, Y, Z and Radial primary vertex position for events with at least 1 PV found.

Ranking>0
Ranking<0

z-Distance: Distance in z-direction between different primary vertex. For events with more than 2 primary vertex, it takes the vertex closer to PV used.
