• Previous study before filter emulator fixes
• QCD and gamma-jet data samples are described here
  (filter parameters are listed below)

Number of generated events per partnic pt bin (pt binsa are: 2-3, 3-4, 4-6, 6-9, 9-15, 15-35):
gamma-jets (2-4): 25K/bin
gamma-jets (4-35): 12.5K/bin
QCD(2-4): 50K/bin
QCD(4-35): 25K/bin

Trigger configuration

(Includes all recent fixes to trigger emulator configuration/software)
emulated L2E-gamma trigger for Run 2006 [eemc-http-mb-l2gamma:: id 137641]
Trigger conditions:
cluster Et (3x3) = 5.2GeV
seed Et = 3.7GeV

Accept/Reject relative to the total number of offline selected events

Definition: offline selected events are events which satisfy to the following conditions:

• Online condition (L2E-gamma trigger fired)
• Reconstructed vetrex (|v_z|<120cm)
• Offline condition (at least one gammaMaker candidate found)

Figure 1:
(upper plots) Gamma candidate yields vs. candidate pt (all partonic pt bins, no pt weights)
(lower plots) False rejection [histograms in the upper panel scaled by L2E-gamma-trigger yield (shown in blue)]
No gain shifts in StEEmcSlowMaker
Note: statistics without gain shifts is smaller because ~10-20% jobs died at RCF

Figure 2: Same as Fig. 1, but with +10% (1.1) gain shifts in StEEmcSlowMaker.

Figure 3: Same as Fig. 2 vs. candidate eta (with +10% (1.1) gain shifts in StEEmcSlowMaker).

Figure 4: Same as Fig. 2 vs. candidate azimuthal angle (with +10% (1.1) gain shifts in StEEmcSlowMaker).

Figure 5: Same as Fig. 2 vs. energy (with +10% (1.1) gain shifts in StEEmcSlowMaker).
