Run-11 Transverse Jets: Smoothing Kinematic Shifts

Given the limitations of my embedding sample, it is important to try to use the available statistics most efficiently. One way to do this is to utilize fits to the data trends.

Run-11 Transverse Jets: Update to Spin-PWG (December 11, 2014)

 

Minutes for HF PWG meeting on 2014/12/3

Bingchu presented his simulation study for c-mu correlation with HFT and MTD. Results look promising.

Background estimation with Fitting ptBalance

I am trying to estimate the background from fitting the ET bin by ET bin signed pT balance distribution.  The "rige" in the 2D , sPtBalance vs.

Run 13 W Analysis, Period 2

Request TypeSimulated background embedding (generator with real data as background for noise / pile-up studies)
DescriptionUpdate to the simulation request from 2017-06-02:
library: SL16g
geometry: y2013_1c
BFC tags: DbV20140905 pp2013b StiCA StiHftP mtd btof fmsDat fgt fgtPoint VFPPVnoCTB beamline -evout BEmcChkStat Corr4 OSpaceZ2 OGridLeak3D -hitfilt

Embedding Request for Run 13, period 2 (day >=129) W analysis (continuation of period 1)
Motivation:
•Estimate background for the spin asymmetry analysis
•Estimate the reconstruction efficiency
Request Type:
•Simulated background embedding (generator with real data
as background for noise / pile-up studies)
Description:
•Embed Full PYTHIA MC events into pp510
zerobias (ZB) data events with full ADC information and do complete
track, vertex, etc. reconstruction

Target Luminosity:
10x data (121/pb for Run 13, period 2)

Channels/ events:
W^+ -->e+\nu: 150k events
W^- -->e-\nu: 48k events
W^+ -->\tau^+ -->e^+\nu : 150k events
W^- --> \tau^- -->e^-\nu: 48k events
Z/gamma --> e+e- : 34k events

Library: SL14g (not in dropdown menu)

Data Sources
Real Data
File lookupThe sample of ZB events should accurately reflect the changing detector conditions in the real data •Dead regions (TPC, BEMC, EEMC) with status tables •Rate dependence of pileup in the TPC, etc •The increased pileup at high rate leads to lower track reconstruction efficiency •The number of ZB events from run i is set by the fraction of the total luminosity that run contributes to the data sample
