sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Joe Osborn <jdosbo AT umich.edu>]

Dear EMCalers,

As Jin presented in the simulations/EMCal meeting this week, he has updated the EMCal simulations with the tower tilting in azimuth and polar directions, amongst other changes. With the simulations code tagged, Chris produced single particle simulations that people can play with before we start producing large batches of simulations.

Attached are the resolution of the EMCal for photons, electrons, and positrons in several different eta bins. Just to be clear, the single particles were thrown for 9 different energies in the four different eta regions surrounding the values quoted in my plots (i.e. eta=0 corresponds to truth particles being thrown in +/-0.05 units of pseudorapidity around 0, same for eta=0.3,0.6, and 0.9).

Any comments would be great, or perhaps everyone will be too busy enjoying the long weekend in which case we can also discuss them at the EMCal meeting next week.

Thanks,

Joe
