d+Au Hijing Multiplicity Jet Bias

Motivation:

It is observed that the near-side jet peak distribution differs from central and peripheral d+Au collisions data.

Here the jet centrality difference is studied for their pT dependence in Hijing simulation

 

Method

Hijing simulation.

Dihadron correlations are projected on Δη for near-side (Δφ~0) and away-side (Δφ~π) separately. The near-side distribution is fitted with a Gaussian + Pedestal.

The fit parameters are: Gaussian area Y, Gaussian width σ, Pedestal C.

The centrality is determined by the number of charge particles in -2.8>η>-3.8.

The associate particles transverse momentum are 0.15-3 GeV/c. The trigger particle pT are varied.

The dihadron correlation below shown is ZYAM subtracted.

 

Data set:

Hijing d+Au Simulation data.

Both trigger and associated particle in |η|<1

Associate particle 0.15< pT < 3 GeV/c

 

Results:

1. Near-side Correlation Fit Result

  Trigger pT depedence:

 

  0.15<pT<0.5 0.5<pT<1 1<pT<1.5 1.5<pT<2 2<pT<2.5 2.5<pT<3 3<pT<4 4<pT<6
0-20%        
40-100%          

 

Note: There is a concave for away side shape. This is known in hijing. There's some effect of concave shape in real data at low pt but it's much weaker than Hijing.

Conclusion:

There's multiplicity bias to correlation in hijing. But the effect is much smaller than in data.
