sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

[Xin Dong <xdong AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Sookhyun,

I am interested in this study, but I am sorry that I cannot view the presentation due to the permission issue (PHENIX area). Could you please put it in a place that non-PHENIX colleague can also view it?

Thanks and Best Regards

Hello all,

Please find my updates on in-time vertexing with INTT at:

https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/phenix/WWW/p/draft/shlee/sphenix/tracking/intt_in-time_vertexing_Oct18_2018.pptx

The results shown used  ~15% of intended statistics due to limited time and computing resources. 

Plots will be updated tomorrow morning again with more statistics. 

Best regards,

Sookhyun

Hi Sookhyun,

Thank you for this nice study. Let me back off a bit and ask a couple of basic questions first.

Can you elaborate the definition of "in-time vertex identification efficiency"? My understanding from the slides is the probability of reconstructed vertices with 3 MVTX+1 INTT to be the truth MC vertices. I may be wrong here, and would appreciate your clarification.

So the module reconstruts all possible vertices in an event and uniquely determines an in-time vertex and assigns 0 to vt for this vertex. For each event, if at least one true in-time vertex has a reconstucted vertex with vt=0, we declare an in-time vertex is identified. The denominator is the number of events with in-time vertex with true vertex within 10 cm. 

What is the minimum number of tracks requirement in the vertex algorithm?

I require 2 track at minimum.

Do you also have the vertex finding efficiency? Fraction of MC truth vertex that got reconstructed. May be also interesting to see this vs. event multiplicity at different luminosity levels.

I'd like to refer you to the talk I gave in last year's collaboration meeting.

I tend to agree with Ming that 3 MVTX hit seems to be a bit tight. What if there are some small amount of dead areas on each layer of MVTX during the real operation. The dead area fractions in three layers will add up if we have the 3-hit requirement. This may cause some sizable vertex finding efficiency loss, isn't it?

This is very interesting question. In a catastrophic case of most sensors of 1 MVTX layer dead, I can naively imagine writing a 2D xy vertexing algorithm for phi segmented layer, which may be unnecessary. For z segmented layer, we can fit tracks to a line on xz plane, but the resolution won't be as good as a track won't be really straight. However, this is an unlikely circumstance as Tony points out. 

Thank you and Best Regards

Hi Ming,

Yes, so far I only used 1 INTT layer to discriminate against out-of-time events. We certainly should reconstruct tracks using 2 MVTX hit + (2+) INTT hits at next iteration, but 2 MVTX hits only won't provide good starting curvature (for phi segmentation) or z0 parameter (for z segmentation) for INTT, thus cannot be used for in-time vertexing. I did not apply any pT cut on tracks used for vertexing.

Best regards,

Sookhyun

Hi Sookhyun,

Nice work! So in your analysis, only one INTT hit was used to tag in-time association to a MVTX triplets? How about if you only use MVTX tracklet with two hits only? Have you applied any minimum momentum cuts?

Cheers
