Identification of Photon Signals in CDF Photon candidates: Isolated electromagnetic showers in the calorimeter, with no charged tracks pointing at the calorimeter cluster Central EM Calorimeter • Signals • Backgrounds • Two techniques for • determination of photon signals; • 1. EM Shower width (shape): • using Shower Max. Detector • 2. Probability of Conversion: • using pre-radiator hits • Statistical background subtraction   0  Pre-shower Detector Shower Maximum Detector e.g. for diphoton candidates, S/B result using CPR method is..
