Charles F. Maguire Vanderbilt University Checking Radiation Length Systematic Error Effect on f->KK Reconstruction Efficiency Charles F. Maguire Vanderbilt University

Run2 discrepancy factors for dN/dy 1.69 +/- 0.27 (0 - 10% centrality) Review Status of the Run2 Discrepancy Looking at the integrated yield numbers dN/dy Publications from Run2 Au+Au data at 200 GeV STAR in PL B 612 (April 2005) 181-189 PHENIX in PR C 72 (July 2005) 014903 One common centrality bin and minimum bias data can be directly compared using exponential fitting Both experiments say that their Run4 results agree with their Run2 results Centrality STAR dN/dy PHENIX dN/dy STAR T PHENIX T 0 - 10% 6.65 +/- 0.35 +/- 0.73 3.94 +/- 0.60 +/- 0.62 357 +/- 14 +/- 39 376 +/- 24 +/- 20 Mininum Bias 2.40 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.26 1.34 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.21 353 +/- 9 +/- 39 366 +/- 11 +/- 18 Run2 discrepancy factors for dN/dy 1.69 +/- 0.27 (0 - 10% centrality) 1.79 +/- 0.13 (minimum bias) statistical errors only September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Minimum Bias Data Comparison I Using same mT range for both data sets Two data sets are plotted The two sets of data are fitted by exponential functions. The same mT range is used in both fits,omitting low mT STAR points No significant change in STAR results as compared with using their full minimum bias mT range September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Radiation Length Systematic Effects Minimum Bias Data Comparison II Same data sets are plotted Same mT ranges used but omitting lowest mT PHENIX data point Slight changes in both dN/dy values, but the discrepancy ratio is still the same at 1.7 +/- 0.2 (statistical) The fact that STAR and PHENIX disagree at the intermediate pT values means that STAR doesn’t see f suppression but PHENIX does September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Radiation Length Issues for f->KK Yield Absorption Extra radiation length could increase threshold for Kaon detection Effect would be most pronounced at lower particle pT values but several f pair mT bins might be effected Multiple scattering Extra radiation length would increase multiple scattering Possible loss of acceptance in real vs MC due to tracking cuts However, MC tracking cuts are compared with and matched to real cuts Mass identification Extra radiation length slows down particle speed due to energy loss Mass identification based on time-of-flight could be compromised September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Method for Checking Radiation Length Any unknown extra radiation length most likely at or after DC Run4 has only beam pipe and helium bag before DC Photon conversion analysis indicates no significant unknown radiation length much before the DC Test extra radiation length (3%) added in PC1 One inch “hexcell” volume before and after gas gap is replaced with pure Lithium as a tracking medium. Gives approximately 3% more RL. Location advantage that it is common in East and West arms Gives longer flight time and multiple scattering effects Extra radiation length could be more in PC3, or in TEC and PC2 Also studied effect of increasing RL in only PC2 and PC3 Study before and after effects on f->KK at pT = 0.82 - 0.84 GeV/c Corresponds to lowest PHENIX mT bin being reported mT - mf = 0.3 GeV/c Check energy loss absorption, multiple scattering, increased decay-in-flight from longer flight time, and mass identification effects September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Effect of 3% Extra RL on Kinetic Energy Loss For kaons from f->KK at mT = 0.3 GeV/c K.E. K.E. Initial K.E. 60 to 300 MeV for initial pT > 250 MeV/c (= 60 MeV) Default MC RL Extra 3% MC RL DK.E. = ~ 4 MeV DK.E. = ~ 8 MeV Mean K.E. loss increases only a few (~4) MeV with 3% extra RL Total absorption of Kaons not an issue; extra RL doubles energy loss September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Radiation Length Systematic Effects Effect of 3% Extra RL in PC1 on TOF Tracking and Kaon ID For kaons from f->KK at mT = 0.3 GeV/c Default MC RL Extra 3% MC RL Slight effect (broadening) on track matching cuts from extra 3% RL TOF ISKAON variable already high at 0.52 goes to 1.18 with extra 3% RL September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

Radiation Length Systematic Effects Effect of 3% Extra RL in PC1 on TOF Kaon ID Variable For kaons from f->KK at mT = 0.3 GeV/c 1.53 0.76 3.10 1.81 Default MC RL Extra 3% MC RL 0.96 0.42 0.70 0.26 TOF ISKAON variable (before recalibration) is strongly momentum dependent at low pT even without extra RL September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects

NOTES ABOUT REAL DATA ANALYSIS Real data analysis uses recalibration modules Recalibrators shift the distributions in particle ID and in track matching to be centered at zero (what about widths?) MC distributions are matched to the real data distributions Question as to why the raw MC distributions are off center? Can we see a momentum dependent effect in the real data?

Summary of Effects of 3% RL Increase Two simulations of 3% RL increase were done Simulations used lowest mT bin f->KK mesons (pT = 0.83 GeV/c, mT = 0.3 GeV) First simulation had 3% RL increase at PC1 East and West Second had 3% RL increase at both PC2 (West) and PC3 East and West Each simulation compared to default RL in PISA First simulation showed that the average increase in energy loss = 4 MeV 3% RL increase effectively doubles the energy loss of the default RL in PISA Mean K.E. is greater than 180 MeV, so total absorption unlikely important Largest singles observable effect is half a s shift upward of mass ID parameter First simulation showed a uniform 20% decrease in f->KK pair reconstruction efficiency in both East and West Arms Second simulation has no decrease in East yield but a 20% decrease in the West Arm Conclusions Increased RL will lead to some loss in reconstruction efficiency probably because of multiple scattering tails or increased decay-in-flight (could repeat PISA w.o. mu. sc.) Radiation length mistake unlikely to be cause of 1.7 factor discrepancy with STAR since we must surely know the RL to at least a factor of 2? Effective radiation length can be probed with shifts in real data mass peak in TOF MC tracking dispersions are not zero-centered or normalized for both TOF and EMCal Need to compare these results with real data (ongoing with Dipali and Debsankar) September 15, 2005 Radiation Length Systematic Effects
