Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 Momentum and comparisons we checked that the MC code folded with the detector simulation reproduces the kinematic variables, especially at the borders dn/dp [(0.5 MeV) -1 ] + Data - Babayaga (MC) - Bhagenf (MC) MC data perfect agreement in the acollinearity distributions very good agreement near p ~ 400 MeV p 400 MeV
11
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 Polar angle systematics global agreement is very good but the cut occurs in a steep region of the distributions estimate of border mismatches after normalizing MC to make it coincide with data in the region , we estimate as a systematic error: MC data
12
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 Background estimate (I) A0 A1 events/3 MeV DATA MC other than Bhabha, there are events with m trk ~ 137 MeV, e e around m trk ~ [100,170] MeV t he exponential is subtracted from data m trk : 4-mom. conserv. under the hypothesis of 2 equal mass tracks and a
13
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 a second method consists in discr. e at least one track identified as an average of background content of 0.55% and a systematic error of 0.10% are estimated Background estimate (II) E (first plane) (MeV) E (last plane) (MeV) E (first plane) (MeV) E (last plane) (MeV) pions deposit ~ 40 MeV in each plane electrons deposit mostly in the first plane and negligible amount in the rest eeee
14
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 Dependence on sqrt(s) since the cross section is evaluated at the nominal value of s 1/2 = 1019.5 MeV, we corrected for DA NE variations of s 1/2 in time L/L = is parameterized as a function of s 1/2, from Monte Carlo:
15
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 List of systematics (theory) (experiment) = (total error) due to s putting all together: BHAGENF: eff = ( 430.7 ± 0.3 stat ) nb BABAYAGA: eff = ( 431.0 ± 0.3 stat ) nb both groups of authors claim 0.5% summing in quadrature
16
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 the measurement of the luminosity is performed using large angle Bhabha events, detected in KLOE in 2001 the major source of uncertainty is from theory we are going to use the improved version of BABAYAGA, and also BHWIDE and MCGPJ to pin down the 0.5% factor what about implementing recent 2 loop evaluations? from the experimental side we are going to analyse the 2002 data, and we are going to look at the process e + e → as an independent luminometer reaction, which is the precision of radiative corrections in this channel?

17
Federico Nguyen 10-02-2005 Loss of cosmic events at the trigger level, events are rejected because they have characteristics similar to cosmic rays (amount of energy released at the outer planes of the EMC) genuine cosmic event Bhabha event rejected because taken as cosmic a fraction of 0.41% large angle Bhabha events are lost because of this
