sPHENIX discussion of physics

["Anderson, Derek [PHYSA]" <dmawxc AT IASTATE.EDU>]

Hi all,

Following up on the meeting today, I've incorporated suggestions from the discussion into the Track QA page. Please feel free to take a look and provide any further comments!

Subject: [Sphenix-physics-l] [minutes] HF/Q TG Meeting Friday at 3pm ET

 

Introduction

 

• Please use the new TG data disk area : /sphenix/tg/tg01/hf 
• Many HF production request has been processed, analysis can start: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dc-HX-Dd4acezxw0tRvvvf1Wq-4XGUBIRLYhJbRRdIY/edit?usp=sharing 
• First version of general tracking quality analysis cut recommendation: https://wiki.sphenix.bnl.gov/index.php/Track_Quality_Cuts 

• Note cuts are analysis cuts, current wiki value only select prompt cuts. 

 

Cameron and Derek will also add the cuts avaialble in KFParticle 

Dennis: it will be useful to have list of cuts and motivations (e.g. high pT in jet, low pT in HF); vz is event level cut, which may be a separate event cut recommendation page; nmaps = 3 or 4 was recommended as tracks could pick up more than one cluster per layer

 

Xin/Joe: efficiency is about 80% but the missing layer could damage the acceptance. Furthermore, two-layer could be sufficient for HF

Tony: To be addressed in the future to allow two layer 

Tony: Only TPC tracks may be used e.g. conversion electron

 

 

K-short reconstruction with distortions¶ - Zhaozhong 

 

Zhaozhong: crosschecked Joe's plot on momentum scale and resolution with/without residual distortion.

Joe: distortion could change the track momentum scale. Residual distortion is at O(1) hundred um level. 

Xin: Suggest studying inner track matching precision and efficiency with and without distortion. 

Joe: We can still connect TPC -> MVTX. Vertex DCA was stable. Effect not yet quantified in detail.

 

 

Slide 10: 

It is hard to interpret after integrating a large momentum range given the large dependence on tracking performance over pT

 

Cameron: HIJING analysis was before a change, which now allows both TPC-only and TPC-MVTX tracks  

Tony/Xin: TPC-MVTX should have inv. mass of 3MeV, TPC-only should have a good resolution too (6MeV). The wider peak may be a reco problem due to the track propagation in the field. 

Cameron: to look into it, which expects to have a switch to enable momentum production

 

 

Tony: high pT K0s may get lost due to the loss of a secondary vertex beyond the MVTX first layer. 

Jin: need to fix inv. mass first. 

Tony: for eval analysis, please use Reese Boucher's macro for 2nd vertex correction 

 

 

 

D0 in AuAu plot update for HP23¶ Cameron Dean

 

Xin: Error bar on pull all has the same size (as expected for pull)

Cameron: blue and magenta have fixed ratio to describe the D0 peak 

Tony/Joe: please highlight the length of the data taking is small (25min) to avoid misunderstanding of marginal measurement at sPHENIX. 

Joe: pile up should be noted.
