3. Association by Hits
Definition of association by hits: A matched recoTrack is a recoTrack that has 50% or more of its tracker hits overlap the simulated hits from a simTrack.

4. Fraction of Shared Hits
Note: Most of the associated recoTracks share 100% of their hits with their corresponding simTrack.

5. RS vs CTF
Last time there was some confusion on why it seemed that RS reconstructed many less tracks than CTF

7. RS vs CTF
This shows clearly that the RS algorithm has a higher minimum seed pT value (≈1.5GeV).
The ‘bleed off’ is due to misestimate of pT from only a few [seed] hits.
So in order to be fair to RS, we should make a minimum pT cut.

8. Efficiency (pT > 3.0 GeV)

9. Charge Asymmetry
There seems to be less negatively charged recoTracks than positive. Why?
+ charge
- charge

10. Charge Asymmetry
One possible explanation is that π+ reacts differently than π- at lower energies.
some of the charged tracks are never reconstructed after they react with the material.
Since σπ-p > σπ+p, more negatively charged tracks are lost in the material.

11. Resolution Revisited Resolution = RecoTrack – SimTrack (denoted by δ)
All these plots were made with CTF tracks and associated by Hits.
There seems to be a similar trend in variables defined in the r-z plane.
An initial improvement in resolution followed by a steady decrease.

12. Steady Rise
Touch light affect: as you move in |η|, the distance from the first measurement point to the point of closest approach increases.
This causes this point to be reconstructed with less precision which is responsible for the steady rise in the resolution plots for variables defined in the r-z plane.
The r-z plane reco variables to be less precise as |η| increases.

13. Small |η| improvement (Charge Sharing)
The improvement for small |η| can be seen from considering charge sharing.

14. More Resolution Plots Consider the plots in the r-φ plane.
They suffer from a similar rise in resolution for increasing |η|.
They do not have the improvement at low |η|.

15. Tracker Geometry
This can be explained by looking at the geometry of the tracker.

16. R-Z plane vs R-Phi Plane

17. What About pT?
There is an additional affect for the pt measurement to multiple scattering.

18. Accounting for the Effects

19. Pull Distributions
Pull = resolution / error
Since the pull distribution depends also on error, it is a bit more complicated since the error determination may not be fully accurate.
We’ll get back to you on these.
