2008.08.14 Shower shape with bug fixed dd-library

Ilya Selyuzhenkov August 14, 2008

Data sets:

  • pp2006 - STAR 2006 pp longitudinal data (~ 3.164 pb^1) after applying gamma-jet isolation cuts.
  • gamma-jet - data-driven Pythia gamma-jet sample (~170K events). Partonic pt range 5-35 GeV.
  • QCD jets - data-driven Pythia QCD jets sample (~4M events). Partonic pt range 3-65 GeV.

 

Data-driven maker with bug fixed multi-shape replacement:

  • Four pre-shower bins: pre1,2=0, pre1=0,pre2>0 pre1<4MeV, pre1>=4MeV
  • plus two energy bins (E<8GeV, E>=8GeV)

2008.08.19 Shower shape from pp2008 vs pp2006 data

Ilya Selyuzhenkov August 19, 2008

Data sets:

  • pp2006 - STAR 2006 ppProductionLong data (~ 3.164 pb^1)
    "eemc-http-mb-l2gamma" trigger after applying gamma-jet isolation cuts.
  • pp2008 - STAR ppProduction2008 (~ 5.9M events)
    "fmsslow" trigger after applying gamma-jet isolation cuts.
    [Only ~13 candidates has been selected before pt-cuts]
  • gamma-jet - data-driven Pythia gamma-jet sample (~170K events). Partonic pt range 5-35 GeV.
  • QCD jets - data-driven Pythia QCD jets sample (~4M events). Partonic pt range 3-65 GeV.

Note: Due to lack of statistics for 2008 data, no pt cuts applied on gamma-jet candidates for both 2006 and 2008 date.

2008.08.25 di-jets from pp2008 vs pp2006 data

Ilya Selyuzhenkov August 25, 2008

Data sets:

  • pp2006 - ppProductionLong [triggerId:137213] (day 136 only)
  • pp2008 - ppProduction2008 [triggerId:220520] (Jan's set of MuDst from day 047)

Event selection:

  • Run jet finder and select only di-jet events [adopt jet-finder script from Murad's analysis]
  • Define jet1 as the jet with largest neutral energy fraction (NEF), and jet2 - the jet with a smaller NEF
  • Require no EEMC towers associated with jet1
  • Select trigger (see above) and require vertex to be found

2008.08.26 Shower shape: more constrains for pre1>4E-3 bin

Ilya Selyuzhenkov August 26, 2008

Data sets:

  • pp2006 - STAR 2006 pp longitudinal data (~ 3.164 pb^1) after applying gamma-jet isolation cuts.
  • gamma-jet - data-driven Pythia gamma-jet sample (~170K events). Partonic pt range 5-35 GeV.
  • QCD jets - data-driven Pythia QCD jets sample (~4M events). Partonic pt range 3-65 GeV.

 

Data-driven library:

  • Four pre-shower bins: pre1,2=0, pre1=0,pre2>0 pre1<4MeV, pre1>=4MeV
  • plus two energy bins (E<8GeV, E>=8GeV)

Maximum side residual plots

Definitions for side residual plot (F_peak, F_tal, D_tail) can be found here
For a moment same 3-gaussian shape is used to fit SMD response for all pre-shower bins.
Algo needs to be updated with a new shapes sorted by pre-shower bins.
