LATEST ANALYSIS WITH THE PHENIX HBD Mihael Makek (University of Zagreb) for the PHENIX Collaboration Thermal Photons and Dileptons in Heavy-Ion Collisions, RIKEN BNL Workshop, BNL, 2014

Outline  Introduction  PHENIX with the HBD  The Hadron Blind Detector  Run-10 preliminary result  Recent progress  Statistics  Electron identification  Background subtraction  Quantitative understanding of the background  Summary Mihael Makek 2

Introduction Dielectron mass spectrum 2004 Run (Au+Au) √ s NN =200 GeV PRC 81, (2010) Large backgrounds due to  0 Dalitz and conversions  improve with the HBD Mihael Makek 3

 Cherenkov detector  GEMs with CF 4  Distinguishes pair opening angle  Can veto background e + e - pairs from  0 Dalitz and  conversions The Hadron Blind Detector Close pair Open pair   Cherenkov blobs e+e+ e-e- B≈0 HBD charge single hit HBD charge double hit NIM A646, (2011) Mihael Makek 4

The preliminary result 2009 p+p Run, sqrt(s)=200 GeV  Data consistent with the cocktail  Fully consistent with the published result  Provide the crucial proof of principle for understanding the HBD Mihael Makek 5

The preliminary result 2010 Au+Au Run, sqrt(s NN )=200 GeV 20-40%40-60% 60-92% Mihael Makek 6

 2004 and 2010 Run results consistent  Large errors (Run-10 errors driven by strong fiducial cuts and conservative estimate of systematics) Data over cocktail LMR (m = 0.15 – 0.75 GeV/c 2 )IMR (m = 1.2 – 2.8 GeV/c 2 ) Mihael Makek 7

Statistics: 4.6B  5.6B events, by relaxing the vertex cut Electron identification Background subtraction Recent progress

PHENIX Time-of-flight  Time-of-flight information implemented for improved hadron rejection  EMCal (PbSc) 3/4 of acceptance  =450 ps  ToF East ~ 1/8 of acceptance  =150 ps Mihael Makek 9

Revised RICH reconstruction algorithm  Ring reconstruction in the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector (RICH)  Parallel tracks point to the same ring in RICH  Hadrons can leak in  New algorithm forbids a ring to be associated with multiple tracks  Associate only with signal electron candidate tracks π Mihael Makek 10

Optimized electron identification  Use neural networks for:  Hadron rejection  Conversion rejection  HBD double hit rejection  Input for NNs: EmCal, HBD, ToF, modifed RICH  Hadron contamination factor of ~1/3 as with 1D cuts, keeping similar efficiency  Electron sample purity in 0-10% central events is ~95% (was ~70% in 2004 Run) DATA – black HIJING – red HIJING signal HIJING bckg Neural network output NN trained and monitored on HIJING simulation: Mihael Makek 11

Background subtraction  Run-10 preliminary result - hybrid background subtraction  Subtract the mixed BG  Subtract the acceptance corrected residual like-sign spectra  Not enough precision for the central bins  Run-10 current effort - component-by-component subtraction:  Traditional approach: Total BG = mixed BG + jet + cross-pair  could not reproduce the like-sign foreground  New approach: Total BG = mixed BG with flow + jet + cross-pair + e-h hidden correlation Mihael Makek 12

Mixed background with flow  Flow distorts the shape of the combinatorial background  RP binning does not correct the effect completely  To correct for the flow effect, each mixed background pair is weighted by an analytic factor: w(  ) = v 2 (p T,1 ) v 2 (p T,2 ) cos(2  )  Single electron v 2 derived from the data  The approach is verified by the simulation (plots on the left)  The weighting method reproduces correctly the combinatorial background shape E.g. simulation using single electron v 2 from 20-40% data Simple mixed BG RP binning Weighting method Mihael Makek 13

Cross-pairs  e + e - pairs from the same primary particle, but different parent  correlated background   0  e + e -   0   and   e + e -    simulated with EXODUS generator  Passed through PHENIX acceptance and reconstruction  Normalization: absolute   0 and  contributions scaled by dN/dy measured by PHENIX e- 00 e+ e- e+  Mihael Makek 14

Jet contributions  Correlated e + e - pairs from jets  Simulated using PYTHIA generator (p+p jets)  Passed though PHENIX acceptance and reconstruction  Normalization: absolute  Each ee pair scaled by: N coll * R AA (p T a ) * I AA (p T b,  ) p T and  refer to primary particles a – the particle with the higher p T, b – the particle with the lower p T R AA is from PHENIX data for pions I AA from PHENIX data from PRC 78, (2008) π0π0 π0π0 e+e+ e-e- e+e+ e-e- γ γ π0π0 e-e- γ e+e+ Mihael Makek 15

e-h hidden correlation  Hadron (h - ) parallel to e + in RICH  h - is misidentified as electron  If e + and h - are reconstructed, the RICH ring sharing cut will reject the event  If e + is not reconstructed (efficiency or dead area), the ring sharing is not recognized, and the e - h - pair enters the event  The e - h - pair is correlated, so cannot be removed by the mixed background  Simulate this contribution and subtract Mihael Makek 16

Mixed background normalization  Mixed BG normalization (weighted with flow):  FG ++ = Cross ++ + Jet ++ + e-h ++ + nf ++ * mixBG ++  FG - - = Cross Jet e-h nf - - * mixBG - - Fit with nf ++ and nf - - being the only free parameters A. Normalization using pair opening angle (d  0 ) B. Normalization using pair mass m ee > 0.2 GeV/c 2  A and B are consistent All correlated sources (MC) d0d0 Mihael Makek 17

Like-sign spectrum, 0-10% centrality  Understanding of the background verified by the like-sign spectra  Correlated components absolutely normalized  Combinatorial background - mixed background with flow  The ratio of the like-sign foreground to total background, for m ee >0.15 is flat at 1  Very good qualitative and quantitative understanding of all background components m ee GeV/c 2 Yield [a.u.] Mihael Makek 18

Like-sign spectrum, 10-20% centrality  Understanding of the background verified by the like-sign spectra  Correlated components absolutely normalized  Combinatorial background - mixed background with flow  The ratio of the like-sign foreground to total background, for m ee >0.15 is flat at 1  Very good qualitative and quantitative understanding of all background components m ee GeV/c 2 Centrality 10-20% Yield [a.u.] Mihael Makek 19

Summary  Since QM2012  Significant progress on electron identification - 95% sample purity achieved  Good qualitative and quantitative understanding of the background component-by-component  Analysis closing completion Mihael Makek 20

BACKUP

Effect of flow on the combinatorial background (I)  Motivation:  Residual correlated yield in the FG/mixedBG like-sign ratio  This yield could not be explained by know sources (e.g. jets)  Suspect flow correlations  Only partially removed by the reaction plane binning  Cannot be completely eliminated due to finite RP resolution (DATA) Mihael Makek 22

Effect of flow on the combinatorial background (II)  Explanation:  Due to flow, particle emission angles (  ) are not uniformely distributed relative to the reaction plane (  )  If single particles are generated ac- cording to the distribution function: 1+2v 2 cos(2(  ))  It can be shown that random pairs are distributed according to: w(  ) = 1 + 2v 2 (p T,1 )v 2 (p T,2 )cos(2  ) Centrality 20-40% (DATA) Mihael Makek 23

Effect of flow on the combinatorial background (III)  Study the effect with realistic MC:  Generate e + and e - p T distribution from data Uniform in rapidity Reaction plane (  ) uniformely from [-  /2,  2] Determine azimuth angle (j) by: 1+2v 2 cos(2(  )) v 2 extracted from from 20-40% data  Pass PHENIX acceptance filter  Standard pair analysis  MC reproduced the residual shape compatible with the one seen in data Like-sign FG/mixed BG (MC) Mihael Makek 24

Effect of flow on the combinatorial background (IV)  Study the weighting method with realistic MC:  Apply the weight for each pair in the generated mixed background: w(  ) = 1 + 2v 2 (p T,1 )v 2 (p T,2 )cos(2  )  Electron v 2 extracted from the analyzed data  Reproduces the combinatorial background perfectly  Cross-check the reaction plane binning method with the same MC setup  Fails to reproduce the combinatorial background Like-sign FG/mixed BG (MC) Simple mixed BG RP binning Weighting method Mihael Makek 25

e-h contribution simulation  Use  0 and  cross-pair simulation  Add MC tracks to DATA events  Merge MC and DATA hits in RICH  Filter only DATA tracks which used to fail eID cuts before merging, but pass eID cuts after merging (promoted hadrons)  Apply all the analysis cuts  Select the remaining MC-data pairs  Normalization of e-h contribution: absolute  Comes automatically since the cross-pairs are absolutely normalized Mihael Makek 26

Like-sign spectra, 0-10% centrality (++, -- separately) m ee GeV/c 2 e + e + pairs e - e - pairs m ee GeV/c 2 Mihael Makek 27

Background normalization using the opening angle  Idea: normalize the combinatorial background in the region where the cor- related components are minimal  Avoid the systematic error of the correlated components (MC)  Opening angle distribution of all correlated sources  Clear minium around d  0 ~ 90° All correlated sources (MC) d0d0 Mihael Makek 28

Jet normalization – I aa extraction 1.Select the centrality bin: 0-20% 20-40% 40-60% 60-92% 2.Op. angle 90° ? 3.Select p T range of the “trigger particle”  for p T <2.0, use the lowest p T bin (2-3 GeV/c) 4.Select p T of the “associated particle”  take the closest point 5.Get the corresponding I aa  Most of the pairs example for 20-40%, away side “Trigger” particle “Associated” particle p T GeV/c Mihael Makek 29

eID flow STEP0 Reject obvious hadrons – NN0 (DCPC+EMCal+RICH+ToF) STEP1 Erase RICH PMTs of uninteresting electrons: - identified conversions, - electrons with p t <0.2, - HBD double hits - NN SD (HBD) STEP2 Reject remaining hadrons – NN1 (DCPC+EMCal+RICH+ToF+HBD) Reject remaining backplane conversions – NN2 (HBD) Mihael Makek 30

Combinatorial background in PHENIX  The main sources of the combinatorinal background: π 0      e + e - π 0   e + e -  The magnetic field bends e + e - in opposite directions, one of them can go out of acceptance or can spiral in the magnetic field not reaching the tracking detectors e+e+ e+e+ e-e- e-e- comb. backg. pair Mihael Makek 31

The Cocktail (QM2012)  Hadron decays simulated in EXODUS  Fit π 0 and π ± data p+p or Au+Au to modified Haggedorn function:  for other mesons η, ω, ρ, ϕ, J/ Ψ etc. use pion parametrization and replace:  The absolute normalization of each meson provided by meson to π 0 ratio at high p T  Open heavy flavor (c,b) simulated with  The cocktail filtered through the PHENIX acceptance and smeared with detector resolution  J/  from full detector MC, normalization: pp yield scaled by N coll * R aa Mihael Makek 32

Differences in runs with and without HBD Data:  Different magnetic field configuration:  Run-9 (p+p) and Run-10 (Au+Au) with HBD: +- field configuration  all other runs: ++ field configuration  larger acceptance of low p T tracks in +- field  More material due to HBD:  more J/ Ψ radiative tail Cocktail:  for open heavy flavor (c,b) contribution instead of PYTHIA Mihael Makek 33

Parallel analysis efforts  Two parallel and independent analysis streams: provide crucial consistency check A. Weizmann + Tokyo + Zagreb group B. Stony Brook group Stream A HBD: reconstruction based on MinPad clusterizer Neural network for eID and for single/double electron separation Correlated background from e-h contributions by cross-pair simulation embedded into RICH data Stream B HBD: reconstruction based on LBS clusterizer Standard 1D cuts for eID and for single/double electron separation Correlated background from e-h contributions by full Central Arm embedding Mihael Makek 34
