fK+K- yield analysis update Dipali Pal Light/Heavy PWG 07/18/2005 -- mT spectra from different subsystems (after assigning proper fiducial cuts at MC) -- systematic studies between different subsystems. -- mT spectra at different centrality bins -- centrality dependence -- summary
Correction factors
Minimum-bias mT spectra (I)
Min bias mT spectra (II) Fitted 4 subsystem combinations within the same mT range.
Total spectrum: Fitting range mT = 1.6 – 2.2 GeV/c2
mT spectrum from the full dataset
Systematic checks on different subsystems
Comparison among different combinations -- field (0-90%)
Systematic checks of f yields in different subsystems Yield (mT) = Nphi(rec) x CF/(Nevt x erun) Take average f yields from all subsystems. Divide invidividual yields by this average (Y-axis of the above plots)
mT spectrum (0-10%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.65 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (10-20%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.79 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (20-30%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.86 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (30-40%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.92 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (40-50%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.94 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (50-60%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.96 (from Run-2)
mT spectrum (60-90%) Used average embedding efficiency 0.98 (from Run-2)
dN/dy and T vs Centrality
Rcp Rcp of f is consistent with pi-zero’s. Run4 statistics allows us to measure Rcp using more peripheral bin than Run2. (Run2 peripheral: 40-92% Run4 peripheral: 60-92%)
Summary mT spectra at 7 centrality bins have been extracted. Centrality dependence has been studied.
Work in progress Apply proper embedding corrections Systematic errors

Dataset and cuts 3 Stripes of Minimum bias CNTs from the rcf disks |bbcz| < 30 cm ++ field: 84M, -- field 86 M events Used TOF and PbSc (East & West) 3s matching at TOF (tracks passing through TOF) 3s matching at PbSc + PC3 (tracks through PbSc) 2s kaon PID in TOF and PbSc. Intruder and ghost rejection cuts. Fiducial cuts to match dead areas in data and MC.
