10 Electron E/p from pp500 L2W events

I ran the usual calibration code over the L2W data produced for the W measurement.

To find an enriched electron sample, I applied the following cuts to the tracks, the tower that the track projects to, the 3x3 tower cluster, and the 11 BSMD strips in both planes under the track:

central tower adc - pedestal > 2.5*rms

enter tower = exit tower

track p < 6 and track p > 1.5

dR between track and center of tower < 0.025

track dEdx > 3.4 keV/cm

bsmde or bsmdp adc total > 50 ADC

no other tracks in the 3x3 cluster

highest energy in 3x3 is the central tower

 

The energies were calculated using ideal gains and relative gains calculated by Joe Seele from tower slopes.

The corrections were calculated for every 2 eta rings and each crate. The corrections for each 2 rings were calculated first and then applied. The analysis was rerun, then the E/p was calculated for each crate.

The calibration constants will be uploaded to a different flavor to be used with the preliminary W analysis.

Update: I reran the code but allowed the width of the gaussian to only be in the range 0.17 - 0.175. This region agrees with almost all of the previously found widths within the uncertainties. The goal was to fix a couple fits that misbehaved. The updated corrections as a function of eta are shown below.
