2009.08.24 Test of corrected EEMC geometry

Test of corrected EEMC geometry (bug 1618)

Monte-Carlo setup:

• One particle per event (photons, electrons, and pions)
• Full STAR 2006 geometry.
  In Kumac file: detp geom y2006g; gexec $STAR_LIB/geometry.so
• Flat in eta (1.08-2.0), phi (0,2pi), and pt (3-30 GeV)
• Using A2Emaker to get reconstructed Tower/SMD energy (no EEMC SlowSimulator in chain)
  what assumes fixed sampling fraction of 0.05 (5%)

Some definitions:

• Et correction factor : average p_T^thrown / E_T^{reco}.
  E_T^{reco} is the total energy in the Endcap Calorimeter (from A2Emaker)
• Sampling fraction: average 0.05 * Energy^{reco} / Energy^thrown.
• SMD energy: average energy in all strips fired (u-plane used for this post)
• Number of SMD strips fired: average total number of strips fired (u-plane used for this post)

Notations used in the plots:

• Left plots: no cAir fix
• Right plots: cAir-fixed
• Photons: black
• Electrons: red
• Pions: green
