study 9b sensitivity at mid rapidity LT=10/pb Pol=50% or 60%

 Projection of STAR sensitivity for AL for W+,W-  at mid rapidity for LT=10/pb and pol=60% or 50%

Common assumptions:

  • LT=10 pb -1
  • beam pol=60% or 50% 
  • W reco efficiency 70%
  • no losses due to the vertex cut 
  • integrated over eta [-1,+1] 
  • see remaining details in  study 9 sensitivity of STAR at forward & mid rapidity
