STAR Collaboration Meeting -- Spring 2015

(note: this blog entry posted few weeks after actual collaboration meeting)

Three talks given:

pAu/pp A_N ratio

This is an analysis of ~211 million pAu STAR triggers compared to ~52% of the pp transverse data (82% of the data beyond iteration 8);

High Mass Distributions

Trigger-by-trigger mass distributions with the following cuts:

  • 2 photons
  • Z<0.5

FMS-RP overlap and FMS-FMS trigger overlap

Kinematic Distributions before and i8

There was a noticeable change in kinematic distributions after i8, the last iteration. Some of the differences are attributed to prescale changes.

For all plots below:

first plot is distribution of triggers

FMS Maps

Mapping Tables:
These are tables of FMS cell coordinates, channel numbers, patch panel coordinates, QT coordinates, and HV coordinates

Run 15 LED Signal Resolutions -- PART 2

Run 15 FMS Readiness Update (day37)

Sum of ADC counts for all events taken during an LED run on the last official day of access before the pp run.

HV set points:
Large Cells: -1300 V
Small Cells: 0xA0

Run 15 LED Signal Resolutions -- PART 1

NOTE: this blog post defines resolution as (gaussian fit sigma) / (gaussian fit mean); the update to this blog post, found

Yearly Tasks

This page will serve as documentation for several yearly tasks. Not all of these are spin-pwg related tasks, but should be documented somewhere public, and then can be linked elsewhere if necessary.

Jet Finding

 -Jet algorithms
-Trigger Bias studies (can be links to specific analysis)

Jet Trees

 This page should give
-location
-documentation of branches
-example code (MC/Data)

2011 Pions in Jets A_UT @ 500 GeV

What Is Measured?

  • The azimuthal transverse single-spin asymmetries in the production of jets and of pions within jets from p+p collisions at 500 GeV
  • Inclusive jet
