This is mostly an update of FCAL Reconstruction in b1pi events 03/06/2012, but using svn rev 8894, which includes changes to the cluster to charged track matching code.

50,000 b1pi events. No EM background.

Questions

  • Why are so many "photons" reconstructed? How can we reduce this?
  • What is the actual reconstruction efficiency?
  • How many photons reach the FCAL without converting?
    • Efficiency for non-converting photons?
    • Can we recover converted photons?
  • Energy resolution, etc.

1 GeV photon events

Mihajlo in GlueX-doc-823 (2007) says for 1 GeV photons:

  • 37% photon conversion before FCAL
  • 99.6% efficiency for photons that reach FCAL
  • Taking into account single clusters from photons that converted close to the FCAL face, the overall photon reconstruction efficiency was estimated to be 77%
  • 4% energy resolution at 1 GeV
