Measurement of photons via conversion pairs with the PHENIX experiment at RHIC - Torsten Dahms - State University of New York at Stony Brook for the PHENIX Collaboration at the DNP Fall Meeting – October 30, 2004

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook2 Outline Motivation – possibility to measure photons at low p T Technique – photon conversions in beam pipe –Invariant mass spectra of e + e - pairs –Conversion pair properties –Extraction of conversion pairs Raw photon p T spectrum Outlook

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook3 Motivation Thermal photons carry information about initial temperature of produced medium Direct photons have been measured in PHENIX –Previous method has systematic errors ~30% –Expected contribution of thermal photons at 2 GeV ~10% New method with smaller systematic errors –Reconstruct e + e - from photon conversions –Goal: sys. errors <10% J. Frantz et. al., J. Phys. G30, S1003-S1006 (2004) Thermal photons?

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook4 Reconstruct electron positron pairs Conversion pairs are created in the beam pipe (r ≈ 4cm) –PHENIX momentum reconstruction relies on –Leads to higher momentum –Pairs get an invariant mass > 0 –Invariant mass is proportional to the distance from collision vertex Improper reconstruction of transverse momentum causes conversion peak to shift w. r. t. to Dalitz decays Mechanism

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook5 Invariant e + e - mass spectrum of Run 4 Au+Au: Dalitz decays beampipe conversions air conversions & combinatorial background

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook6 Pair properties Conversion pairs have small intrinsic opening angle –magnetic field produces opening of the pair in azimuthal direction –orientation perpendicular to the magnetic field Dalitz decays have larger intrinsic opening angles due to π 0 mass MC Simulation all pairs dalitz decay beam pipe conversions z y x e+e+ e-e- B Conversion pair z y x e+e+ e-e- B Dalitz decay z y x iP e+e+ e-e- oP B MC Simulation all pairs dalitz decay beam pipe conversions

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook7 Extraction of conversion pairs Pair cuts and subtraction of remaining Dalitz background can select a clean beam pipe conversion peak Pairs (after pair cuts) Dalitz component (after pair cuts; MC) Extracted conversions

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook8 Photon p T spectrum Uncorrected photon p T spectrum Dominated by, which is not subtracted yet Raw photon p T spectrum

Torsten Dahms - SUNY Stony Brook9 Next steps: –Correct for acceptance and reconstruction efficiency –Absolute normalization of data –Subtract known γ sources (, …) –Evaluate systematic errors Anticipated results: –AuAu 62.4 GeV statistics limited (upper limit) –AuAu 200 GeV systematics limited –Goal: reduce systematic errors < 10% Outlook
