Checks of TOF Fiducial Cuts
Charles Maguire Group Meeting, Nov 28

Checking Goals (TOF only here)
Quantify the effect of the fiducial cuts Check all the momentum bins (showing only MeV/c here) Look at both real data and simulation Fiducial cuts are introduced at least partially to improve the correspondence between real and simulation distributions Yield analysis should be stable if there are small changes in the fiducial cuts -- not yet confirmed by our group Current findings (using lowest momentum bin data) First quarter of ++ field runs has significant dead area (174o-178o) which was fixed in the later ++ runs and the start of the -- field runs This dead area re-appeared in second quarter of -- field runs Also a new z-localized hole in South side fourth quarter -- field runs These dead areas are not addressed so far in simulation Also determined excess fiducial cutting at lowest azimuth (< 1620) November 28, 2005 TOF Fiducial Cut Check

Explanation and Summary
Slide 9 Explanation Left side is for real data and right side is for simulation: 325 +/- 25 MeV/c Real data are for all good quality tracks into TOF, first half of ++ field runs Simulation data used pions, same temperature spectrum as in real data Black line histogram is before cuts, red histogram (mostly on top of black) is for the after cuts using fiducial cut file from Dipali and Debsankar Black filled histogram is for the particles eliminated by the cuts Slide 9 Conclusion Unnecessary cutting of positive particle yield below 162 (see also slide 2) Same input as slide 1 but simulation and real results are overlaid Normalization is based on the total entries ratio (only shapes are relevant) Left side is before the fiducial cuts, right side is after the fiducial cuts Slide 9 Conclusions Also shows unnecessary cutting for positive particles below 1620 Negative particle shapes are in generally good agreement (only one big hole) Positive particle shapes above 1800 reasonably agreement between MC and Real Positive particle shapes below 1800 not as well reproduced, especially South side November 28, 2005 TOF Fiducial Cut Check
