Fit Parameters

Fit Function

The plots that follow are sums of individual SMD responses in each plane centered around a common mean (here 0), over a +/-40 strips range. The convention for the parameters in the fits below is:

  • p0=E -- area under the curve which represents energy in MeV
  • p1=μ -- mean
  • p2=σcore -- width of the narrow Gaussian
  • p3=γ -- relative contribution of the wide Gaussian to the area/height
  • p4=σtail -- width of the wide Gaussian

Simulation

The simulation is from single photons thrown at the EEMC with the following pT distribution:

The highest tower above 4 GeV in total energy is selected and the corresponding SMD sector fitted for peaks in both planes, where the area of the peaks in the U plane is constrained to be identical to that of the peak in the V plane. The peak is shifted to be centered at 0 where peaks from other events are then summed. The summed SMD response in each plane is displayed below:

Ditto in log scale.

Ditto by sector.

Data from 2005 pp200 EEMC HT 1 and 2 triggers

In this sample, high tower triggers, eemc-ht1-mb (96251) and eemc-ht2-mb (96261), from the 2005 p+p at √s=200 GeV ppProduction are selected. The highest tower above 4 GeV is chosen and the corresponding SMD sector is searched for peaks in both planes. Peaks from several events are summed together taking care of shifting them around to have a common mean.

Ditto in log scale.

Data from 2005 pp200 electrons

Here, I try to pick a representative sample of electrons from the 2005 pp200 dataset. The cuts used to pick out electrons are:

  • Epreshower1 > 5 MeV
  • Epreshower2 > 5 MeV
  • 0.75 < p/Etower < 1.25
  • 3 < dE/dx < 4 keV/cm

The selection for electrons is illustrated in the dE/dx plot below, where the pions should be on the left and the electrons on the right.
