sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

[Xin Dong <xdong AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Sanghoon, Ming,

I think in principle both the fake matches and secondaries can contribute to the long tail. Their contributions will both decrease when moving to high pT. In the current sPHENIX tracking configuration, the fake matches seem not to be a major contribution while I can imagine the secondaries may be dominant. In the STAR HFT case at high luminosity AuAu, the fake matches at low pT dominate the tail.  

Sanghoon, from simulation, you should be able to identify each component: MC primary with true match, MC primary with fake match, MC secondaries. Thanks and Regards

Hi Ming,

I also have a brief email exchange with Jin about the long tails, and it may be just due to decayed particles in pythia events. When I looked back one of Tony's slides showing DCA distribution with prompt pions (pg. 6 in https://indico.bnl.gov/event/3387/contributions/9784/attachments/8788/10770/Directors_Review_Aug_2017_tracking_software.pdf), there's no such long tail. I'm gong to check DCA distributions for prompt and decayed particles separately.

Best,

Sanghoon

Hi Sanghoon,

Very encouraging results. Do you know these long DCA tails are caused by multiple scatterings (beam pipe, MVTX staves, INTT) or somehow intrinsic to some random background in tracking? I notice the tails are much less relative to the central peak for higher pT tracks. 

Cheers,

Ming

Hi Xin,

 

Sorry for the inconvenience. I included the plots in the slides on the indico page.

 

https://indico.bnl.gov/event/4885/contributions/23040/attachments/19709/26007/sPHENIX_IDTF_shlim_20180823.pptx

 

DCA is calculated with reconstructed vertex from single vertex finding with RAVE. When I check the current configuration, all tracks are used. However, tracks without MVTX hit will be de-weighted for vertex reconstruction with the adaptive filter method. This is something I need to confirm by checking vertex resolution for the high pileup case. In case of vertex resolution for p+p w/o pileup. I put a plot from my previous presentation to the updated slide above.

 

Best,

Sanghoon

Hi Sanghoon,

 

Could you please post the two figures in a non-phenix directory? I seems to have permission issue with them.

 

What vertexing algorithm in the reconstruction for recalculating the DCA? Do you have the event vertex resolution vs. event multiplicity?

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi Ming,

 

Requiring at least 2 associated MVTX hits already provide a huge rejection of fake tracks (tracks from pileup events). Therefore the DCA shapes are looks quite similar, as you can see in the full DCA distribution of low pT tracks (black-w/o pileup, red-w/ pileup). One thing to point is that there's still a long tail in simulation w/o pileup.

Things may change with using realistic seed vertex instead of using true vertex, and this study will be followed when the module is ready.

 

Best,

Sanghoon

Hi Sanghoon,

 

Very nice work!  Is it possible to evaluate fake track rate for large DCA ghost tracks? 

 

Cheers,

Ming

Hi all,

 

I produced a new set of files based on comments from the task force meeting, and you can check with the link below (added in the indico).

 

https://indico.bnl.gov/event/4885/contributions/23040/attachments/19709/26006/sPHENIX_IDTF_shlim_20180823.pptx

 

I can probably have a quick look on the performance of 2 layers of INTT with the hit files I have right now for the next week.

 

Best,

Sanghoon
