Dear experts,
This is Yiding from Rice. Recently I am working on the systematic uncertainty of di-electron analysis. I plan to add embedding/data mismatching uncertainty specifically referenced in your presentation slide available at: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/TrkEff.pdf. And I have one question about it.
In Slide 15 of your presentation, you demonstrate the effect of different cuts on mismatching. I observed two intriguing aspects in this analysis. Firstly, the mismatching appears to be sensitive to the DCA cut, which aligns with similar observations made in various studies. However, what caught my attention is the substantial difference in mismatching between nHitsFit>15 and nHitsFit>20. To the best of my knowledge, previous di-electron analyses utilizing Run18 Au-Au 27GeV data did not report such a significant mismatching discrepancy between data and embedded electrons. Could you kindly shed some light on the underlying reasons behind this discrepancy?
I appreciate your great study on the track efficiency uncertainty and would be grateful for any insights you can provide to help me better understand the question.

BW,
Yiding Han
