Mattione Update 11072011

Procedure

• Reconstruct π(1600) -> b1π events with t-slope = 2.0 using both the 334 and 1234 segmentations
• Plot Δβ vs p for π⁺ candidates to see proton, π⁺ separation.

π(1600) -> b1pi Events

p vs. θ

• p vs. θ
  • NOTE: time improvement only at forward angles, so will be negligible for protons in this reaction.

π+'s

protons

π⁺ BCAL Δβ vs p

Δβ = β_p - β_t = p/sqrt(p*p + m*m) - path/(c*TOF)

334 Segmentation

• π(1600) -> b1pi Events, π⁺ Candidates, BCAL Δβ vs p, 334 Segmentation

p = 1.2 GeV/c, 334 Segmentation	p = 1.4 GeV/c, 334 Segmentation
p = 1.5 GeV/c, 334 Segmentation	p = 1.6 GeV/c, 334 Segmentation

Problems

Reference

• Fits to γ BCAL σ_{t_1234} / σ_{t_334} vs. θ in dE bins:
• Don't trust fits at low-θ, so linearly-interpolate between 12 and 16 degrees.
