9/25/2006 Group Meeting 6 Comparing widths

9/25/2006 Group Meeting 7 Comparing widths

9/25/2006 Group Meeting 8 Comparing widths

9/25/2006 Group Meeting 9 Tagging efficiency Simulation generates  0 s in a guassian distribution around a “trigger” hadron –distribution is p T dependant –determined from real data Let these  0 s decay and compare resulting h-  distribution for single photon acceptance and pair acceptance 00 trigger  hadron-  ∆  distribution ∆∆ single acc pair acc

9/25/2006 Group Meeting 10 Tagging efficiency estimates Study tagging efficiency as a function of  in several p T bins Still need to do this with input  0 spectrum from pp and run 5 acceptance Tagging efficiency 4 < p T < 4.5 GeV/c ∆∆ Tagging efficiency p T > 6 GeV/c ∆∆ Tagging efficiency p T < 3.5 GeV/c ∆∆

9/25/2006 Group Meeting 11 To Do Complete work on subtraction of h-  decay –esitmate of tagging efficiency using fastmc still in early stages –contribution from other hadronic decays Still not clear if shape is same as for   0
