Non-photonic electron analysis, update 11/12/2009

Outline of analysis:

Final objective is both non-photonic electron cross-section and ALL.

 

For both:

Event selection

 

Electron id: Identify inclusive electron sample

Photonic electron id: Identify photonic electron background

 Semi-inclusive electron: Inclusive electron - photonic electron

where in this case, 'photonic electron' is any inclusive electron that is successfully paired with a global track to create at least one opposite-charge pair that satisfies the photonic electron cuts.

 

Yield:

2005 electron yield

  all HT1 trig HT1 all HT2 trig HT2
Inclusive 7075 6402 7354 6257
Photonic 4146 3705 4686 3895
Semi-inclusive 2929 2697 2668 2362

 

2006 electron yield (not final cuts)

  all HT2 trig HT2 all L2Gamma trig L2Gamma
Inclusive 4001 2643 8771 ?
Photonic 2569 1678 5621 ?
Semi-inclusive 1432 965 3150 ?


Photonic electron reconstruction / background rejection efficiency: to determine how efficient the above method is in reconstructing photonic electrons.

 

For NPE ALL:

Semi-inclusive and photonic electron ALL


For NPE cross-section:

Electron identification efficiency: to determine the efficiency of the various steps in the electron identification process.
