DC dE/dx Study Overview

Introduction

  • DC dE/dx information used for PID is bad, is disabled until fixed.
  • DC dE/dx Confidence Level (for protons, similar for K+'s, π+'s, and π-).
protons


Procedure

  • Look at reconstructed dE/dx in CDC & FDC (treated separately: different gas mixtures).
    • Half of the track hits in each of the FDC/CDC (those with the largest dE/dx) are ignored: truncates Landau distribution to resemble Gaussian distribution.
  • Will fit mean and σ of these distributions and use them in calculation of χ2
