SPIN 2006 Preliminary Result

2006 di-jet Sivers PRL paper

Measurement of Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries for Di-Jet Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt(s) of 200 GeV
Target Journal: PRL

Single Spin Asymmetries by Fill

Away-side only

BJP1 (hardware & software & geometric) requirement, only use pions with dR > 1.5

Asymmetries for near-side and away-side pions

Summary:
I associated charged pions from JP2 events with the jets that were found in these events. If a jet satisfied a set of cuts (including the geometric cut to exclude non-trigger jets), I calculated a deltaR from this jet for each pion in my sample. Then I split up my sample into near-side and away-side pions and calculate an asymmetry for both samples.

Charged Hadrons

Speaker : Adam Kocoloski ( MIT )


Talk time : 13:15, Duration : 00:45

First Look at Charged Pion Trigger Bias

Motivation:
The charged pion A_LL analysis selects pions from events triggered by the EMC. This analysis attempts to estimate the systematic bias introduced by that selection.

Conditions:

  • Simulation files, database timestamps, and selection cuts are the same as the ones used in the 2005 Charged Pion Data / Simulation Comparison
  • Polarized PDFs are incorporated into simulation via the framework used by the jet group. In particular, only GRSV-std is used as input, since LO versions of the other scenarios were not available at the time.
  • Errors on A_LL are calculated according to Jim Sowinski's recipe.


Plots:


Conclusion:
The BBC trigger has a negligible effect on the asymmetries, affirming its use as a "minimum-bias" trigger. The EMC triggers introduce a positive bias of as much as 1.0% in both asymmetries. The positive bias is more consistent in JP2; the HT2 asymmetries are all over the map.
