EEMC migration plots with cuts on TPC sector boundaries

Click here for results before phi cuts

Monte-Carlo setup

• Throwing one photon per event
• Full STAR y2006h/y2009a configurations
• Throw particles flat in eta (1.08, 2.0), phi (0, 2pi), and energy (5-35 GeV)
• Using A2Emaker to get reconstructed Tower/SMD energy (no EEMC SlowSimulator in chain)
• Vertex z=0
• ~50K/per particle type
• Non-zero energy: 3 sigma above pedestal

Geometry configurations:

• y6h:10KeV (black) - y2006h with emc_10KeV option
• y9a:10KeV (red) - y2009a with emc_10KeV option
