[Hps-analysis] HPS Analysis Meeting June 26 @ 10am/1pm PDT/EDT

[Solt, Matthew Reagan]

Thanks for looking into this Sho.


I think bottom line, I just apply the truth x cut for the efficiency curves. I don't think this is cheating since we care about the truth for these.


Nan (a rotation student), did a quick and dirty study similar to this. He cut on the residual of both electron and positron momentum, decay z, and mass at 3 sigma for all these. Then he took the ratio between the efficiency curves (as a function of z) of those curves and the curves without those cuts. Results are below (ratio vs z for several A' masses). I originally was curious in the affect of the recoil electron in the reconstruction (those cuts should get rid of most of them), not the radiative tail as discussed this morning. The results are what I expected, a very large affect for low mass (which always has a large tail in mass), and a slightly larger affect neat the target where reconstructing with the recoil electron is more likely. In our mass and z region of interest (~>30 mm and mass > 35 MeV), it seems like a 5-10% effect.

More details are here if you want to see some of the tails he cut out: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nanw0321_HPS_tree_master_Plots_vertex-5Fcut&d=DwIFAg&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=J4PP6Zl8IyGHpsqWaKegORCYw8hoCHePTw5O95a5lqQ&m=og6EE5wGaYDOKMKrYDAojbELR7JksZG3kTpfqAhttG4&s=cjJ6618cWgwdV3I6mvTqDSH8wr9s-klt0yRjcyLUlLo&e=

I read the note, it looks good so far. I've made a couple of typo fixes
and I'll put more substantive comments in a text file (in the Dropbox,
comments_sho/comments.txt), but the only things I have there right now are
things I screwed up in my thesis.

I looked at the low-mass tail (pyroot macro and plots attached). See the
comments in the macro for detail, but summary: I'd misremembered what the
cut is that cleans it up: it's not the radiative cut on the recon vertex,
it's a x>0.8 cut on the truth A'. So, that's obviously cheating (in my
thesis I say I'm doing it, but completely sweep it under the rug). But the
tail I saw (might not be the same tail you see) is definitely recoil e-
misidentification in low-X A' events.
