2. TileCal Valencia meeting, 20th September 2007Carlos Solans2 Overview Many progress since last review Correct particle identification Exercises tryout Tau reconstruction efficiency Delta phi of tau tau candidates Data samples Cut flow

3. TileCal Valencia meeting, 20th September 2007Carlos Solans3 Particle identification Taus Pt > 30 GeV && |Q|=1 && |η| < 2.5 (inside LAr) #tracks=1 | 3 ΔR > 0.2 with electron or muon Likelihood > 4 (for TauRec) Districut=1 (for Tau1p3p) Electrons (EG) Pt > 25 GeV && |Q|=1 && |η| < 2.5 (inside LAr) IS_EM & 0x30F = 0 Has associated track Isolation < 0.1 (Et (cone 2.0) /Pt) Muons (Muid) Pt > 20 GeV && |Q|=1 && |η| < 2.5 (inside LAr) Isolation < 0.1 (Et (cone 2.0) /Pt) 0 < χ2 < 20

4. TileCal Valencia meeting, 20th September 2007Carlos Solans4 Tau reconstruction efficiency Definition Efficiency = (identified tau) / (truth hadronic tau) Plot magnitudes N(identified tau) Pt,truth / N(truth hadronic tau) Pt,truth Results The distribution looks ok (ATL-COM-PHYS-2007-054)ATL-COM-PHYS-2007-054 Tau 1p3p has less reco efficiency but does it have less fakes?

5. TileCal Valencia meeting, 20th September 2007Carlos Solans5 Delta Phi Using the same particle identification. Identify candidates Hadronic tau and leptonic tau Sample has Δφ cut (0 < Δφ < 2.9) Plot delta Phi Little statistics We see the delta Phi cut.
