50,000 b1pi events. EM background on. svn rev 9031.
All plots use thrown vertex information to decouple photon analysis from tracking.
BCAL
mcsmear behavior is modified so that noise hits do not affect timing of non-dark hits. Normal time-smearing still-applied.
Thrown photons
This is the z at which the photon would reach the inner radius of the BCAL.
Reconstructed "photons"
The plot below comes from DNeutralParticleHypothesis. At this stage the only cut that has been applied is rejecting clusters geometrically matched to charged tracks (this matching code is somewhat arcane and probably should be examined more closely. True facts: it does allow more than one cluster match per track, it reduces the number of clusters from 253,000 to the 175,000 below).
The z in these plots is cluster z at the presumed cluster maximum, not the z at the inner radius, so not directly comparable to thrown photon plot above.
Removing the lower right bin to get a more reasonable scale:
Reconstructed showers (single particle events)
Generate, simulate, and reconstruct samples of single-particle events with same kinematic distribution. These plots are made from DBCALShowers, this means that matching to charged tracks has not yet been performed, but non-linear energy corrections are applied.
Photons
lower rightmost bin removed, as above, to fix scale
What is the stuff in the at large z, small E?
Pions
(pi+ only in this graph) lower rightmost bin removed, as above, to fix scale
Why this distribution?
- 79091 BCAL clusters
- 53979 left after vetoing matches to charged tracks
Protons
- 25357 BCAL Clusters
- 14062 left after charged track matching
Cluster depth
r coordinate in cylindrical coordinates of cluster center
- blue: pi+
- red: proton
- black: photon
Cuts
In full b1pi event:
- Timing cut: reduces # of clusters from 175,000 to 71,000.
- Loose depth cut: reduces # of clusters by additional 7%.
FCAL
Thrown photons
Reconstructed "photons"
Single-particle events
Pions
After matching to charged tracks.
- 92335 FCAL Clusters
- 15442 remain after matching
Photons
Shower shape
RMS cluster size:
- blue: pi+
- black: photon
splash = E_{3x3}/E_{5x5}
- blue: pi+
- black: photon
Cuts
On full b1pi events:
- Timing cut: Cuts out ~16% of showers
- Loose cuts on RMS size, splash: cuts out additional 10% of showers
only ~1% "good" photons lost in these cuts
