h-/h+ ratio: 2012 QA
I took a look at the h-/h+ ratio for the 2012 data using code I got from Grant Webb, who had done this for previous years.
Data was from P12id.
Data is in /star/institutions/ucla/klandry/QAnalysis/2012/pp200/HmHp/
I plotted the h-/h+ ratio vs track Pt for 5 different situations. These were using:
1) Data from a single run early in 2012 (run number 13068034)
2) Data from a single run late in 2012 (run number 13072010)
3) Data from the first 40 runs in 2012
4) Data from the last 40 runs in 2012
5) Data from all of 2012 combined
This was done to find any discrepancies between different times during 2012.
1) A single run early in 2012 (run number 13068034)
2) A single run late in 2012 (run number 13072010)
3) The first 40 runs in 2012
4) The last 40 runs in 2012
5) All of 2012
This figure is closer look at the above plot in the Pt region between 0 and 3 GeV.
In all the plots, there is a significant decrease of the h-/h+ ratio starting around Pt = 3 GeV.
The west and east sections behave the same.
I also plotted the h-/h+ ratio vs "run number" for all the runs in 2012.
The ratio for each run was found by fitting that run's h-/h+ VS Pt graph with a constant. I did this two ways. First by fitting the entire range, and then fitting just between 0 and 3 GeV. Pt of 3 GeV was chosen because in the plot of h-/h+ vs Pt, 3 GeV is where the ratio noticeably starts to decrease.
There is a slight increase in h-/h+ in both the west and east sections of the TPC from .95 to about .957. We haven't found an explanation of this.
