Data / MC comparisons for isolation cut, take 2

Abstract:  We apply an energy-dependent correction to the MC energy deposit in the Monte Carlo, in order to "fix" the sampling fraction problem.  Data / MC comparisons are made.
 

1.0 pT-dependent Fudge Factor

 
Prompt photon events are thrown in the MC.  In the slow simulator we apply a fudge factor which depends on the energy deposited.  (Actually, the ADC from the fast simulaotr).  The fudge factor has the form...

F = 1.184 + e^(-1.819 - 0.134 * fastADC * 60.0/4096.0 )

This is derived from a fit to the "fudge factor" vs pT which Hal and Keith looked at recently. 
 
 
 
Figure 1 below compares the reconstructed pT of the photon to the thrown pT of the photon.  The match is good but not perfect.  Some additional adjustments need to be made to the fudge factor.  Figure 2 shows the matching between reconstructed and thrown rapidity and phi.

2.0 Data / MC for isolation Cut

In the figures below, I show the data / MC for the isolation ratio RI.  The quantity on the x-axis is RI, defined as the ET of the gamma candidate divided by the sum of tower and track pT's within a radius of 0.3.  The ET of the gamma is computed from the energy in a single tower, and a correction based on the position of the photon within the tower (similar to what Ahmed does in the barrel).  

Three different "sets" are shown.  Between each set I make some changes in the way the MC is reconstructed and/or apply quality cuts to the towers and tracks which are used to form the isolation cut and other observables.  Set A uses the MIT Monte Carlo sample and the Gamma Maker "out of the box"... i.e. with no modifications at all.  In Set B, I apply a pT dependent "fudge factor" to the energy recorded in each EEMC tower, as described above.  In Set C, I add a quality cut to the tracks and towers which are used to form the observable distributions.  Within each set, the RI distribution is plotted in the inner, middle and outer eta rings of the EEMC.  Also, there are PDF files available for sets B and C with many more distributions (and some notes about what I think about them).
