BSMD Calibration: More on the M Shape
Figure 1: Eta distribution of pp500 tracks in momentum bins. Each new color means that a cut has been added: red is no cuts, green adds tower zero-suppression, yellow adds the dE/dx
BHT3coin vs BHT3
In my last post I showed the ratio of BHT3coin and dijet triggers, revealing a discepancy in the middle of the run. The plot below shows the BHT3coin/BHT3 ratio over the same span.

BSMD Calibration: Investigating the M Shape
First, the conclusions: the M shape is the same across different charges and is the same in the eta and phi planes. And while part of it is an SMD effect, probably having to do with
