Hi Jin,

This was using the production Production_0510_MIP_set4_Cosmic.  

Best,

Virginia

Hi, Virginia

 

Thanks for the quick follow up.

 

Meanwhile, I am wondering which production set you are using? In my test as attached, the linearity is above unity, as we would expect ( the energy scale is setup by eta=0 showers with lower sampling fraction than high-eta). The resolution point-to-point is similar. I was using production Production_0715_EMCalSet2_HCalPR12 (newest one on wiki), and same horoscope cuts. Martin’s temperature correction will further improve the high energy point’s resolution a bit.

Cheers

 

Jin

Hello all,

 

Attached are some slides detailing the analysis of the high rapidity runs from the testbeam.  The hodoscope cuts were chosen based on the mean energy by hodoscope cuts plots (shown on slide 3) as we have done before for the second scan data.  Due to the positioning of the blocks in these runs, the energy is spread much more in the horizontal direction, so I chose not to include any horizontal hodoscope cuts on the data.  Because of this, the high rapidity runs have more statistics than the scan 2 runs, causing the lower statistical error in the high rapidity resolution plot.  Looking at the 5 by 5 tower energy distributions, the energies are lower for the high rapidity runs than for the nominal runs, showing us that the high rapidity showers spread to an area larger than the 5 by 5 towers we've been looking at.  We suspect that this could be partially responsible for the higher resolution we see.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

 

Best,

Virginia
