1 Adventures In Calorimeter Assisted Tracking Chris Meyer, Tyler Rice UC Santa Cruz October 16, 2007

2 Tools The goal is to put together a combination Track Finding Driver for the central region of the detector. This includes: VXD Cheating AxialBarrelTrackFinderZ GarfieldTrackFinder These are run through sequentially, eliminating hits found on tracks after each step.

3 VXD Cheater We started with code written by Eric Wallace (formerly of UCSC) and modified it to cheat away not only Tracker Barrel Hits, but Vertex Barrel Hits as well. All associated SimTrackerHits from MCParticles originating within 2 cm of the origin are removed from hit banks.

4 AxialBarrel Z Code originally written by Tim Nelson (SLAC), it takes three hit seeds from the Tracker Barrel and attaches hits to find 4 or 5 hit Tracks. Optimized for non-prompt tracks by Tyler Rice (UCSC); Some improvements added (phi-region check…). The code used was modified by Lori Stevens (UCSC); introduced virtual segmentation and an algorithm to check for linear z-consistency using only end-position information from z-modules. Z-Modules are user defined, changeable in the Driver.

5 GarfieldTrackFinder Written by Dima Onoprienko (KSU), GafieldTrackFinder employs outside-in track finding, beginning with EmCal Stubs. Finds tracks with 3, 4 or 5 hits in Barrel Detectors. Also uses modular z information when finding possible hits to attach to track. Changes made to Garfield: GarfieldTracks/Hits have associated MC truth information Virtual Z-Seg now customizable

6 What’s a Good Track/Particle? Findable MC Truth Particle: FINAL or INTERMEDIATE State Particles Charged Path Length > 50 cm P t > 0.75 GeV Radius Origin < 72 cm | cos  | < 0.8 Acceptable Reconstructed Track: | cos  | < 0.8 P t > 0.75 GeV DCA < 10 cm Successfully Fit

7 What’s a Good Track/Particle? Good Tracks: Purity ≥ 0.8 Associated MCParticle is findable Passes acceptable criteria Fake Tracks: Purity < 0.8 Passes acceptable criteria Ignored Tracks: Purity ≥ 0.8 Associated MCParticle is UNfindable *Purity is calculated strictly using Barrel Hits (Calorimeter stub excluded from calculation)

8 Initial Results *Axial Barrel ≥ 4 hit Tracks, Garfield ≥ 3 Hit Tracks* *Z Pole qqbar Event* *5 Hit Tracks*

9 Initial Results *Axial Barrel ≥ 4 hit Tracks* *Z Pole qqbar Event* *ABTFZ 4 Hit Tracks* (Garfield Will Be Run Next)

10 Initial Results *Axial Barrel ≥ 4 hit Tracks, Garfield ≥ 3 Hit Tracks* *Z Pole qqbar Event* *# MCPs are those left after running AxialBarrel*

11 Initial Results *Axial Barrel ≥ 4 hit Tracks, Garfield ≥ 3 Hit Tracks* *Z Pole qqbar Event* VERY Low Purity for Reasonable Segmentation

12 What Are We Missing? If we change to 5 hit minimum for Axial Barrel Purity is increased, but efficiency is decreased (Tyler Rice presentation, 8/21/07). The main concern is the inability of the calorimeter to distinguish good 3 hit tracks from fakes.  Can we reliably reconstruct tracks originating outside the second Tracker Barrel layer?  SeedExtend Algorithm, Tyler Rice, Chris Meyer Since Barrel information is precise, make a helix from 3 hit seeds (with seeds based on Tim Nelson’s code) then check for matching calorimeter stubs (found using Dima Onoprienko’s NN Cluster Driver and EmCalStub Driver).

13 Stub Matching *Muon 1-50 GeV Events* XY Miss Distance between Seed and Stub at Calorimeter Face

14 Stub Matching *Muon 1-50 GeV Events* Phi Difference between Seed and Stub at Calorimeter Face

15 Stub Matching *Muon 1-50 GeV Events* Curvature Ratio of Seed and Stub

16 Cuts on Matching ZPole sidaug05 cuts for SeedExtender Seeds: Phi Separation < 300 milliradians (for consecutive layers) Helix – Stub Matching: Base Difference < 2 mm Phi Difference < 100 milliradians Kappa Ratio ( (  seed -  stub )/  seed ) < 10 Note: All values are absolute values

17 Approach Loop through list of stubs looking for possible seeds to attach. Calorimeter Stubs: Refit stub to get better helix (base position, base phi, kappa) Use all CalorimeterHits, give more weight to closest two, farthest two, and middle two Tracking Seeds: Only look at outer 3 tracking layers Require max phi-separation between any two hits of 300 miliradians If multiple matches are found, seed with smallest phi difference from stub is used.

18 Seed Extender 20 total Findable 3 Hit tracks. Binned by Radius from Origin (mm) Radius of Origin

19 Seed Extender 12 Found 3 Hit tracks. Binned by Purity* Include stub as 4 th hit in purity calculation

20 Seed Extender 2 Found 4 Hit tracks. Binned by Purity (5 th Hit from Calorimeter assumed to be pure)

21 Seed Extender 4 Fake 3 Hit Tracks. Binned by p t (GeV)

22 Conclusions ABTFZ and Garfield Efficient and Pure for 4 and 5 Hit Tracks Can’t find 3 Hit Tracks Developed SeedExtend for 3 hit Tracks On Z-Pole events we get 60% efficiency for 3 Hit Tracks On Z-Pole events we get 70% purity for 3 Hit Tracks This can be optimized further by changing cuts, but the optimization will depend on the physics signatures (isolated signature vs. dense jet) Plan to look at meta-stable SUSY signature; consulted with Jonathan Feng (UC Irvine) With this in mind Chris Betancourt (UCSC) is looking into ISAJET generation with Jonathan’s guidance.
