HBD studies inRun9 200GeV p+p collisions Jiayin Sun
Two kinds of HBD responses • single electron clusters (SINGLES): • One electron per cluster • Smaller HBD signal • double electron clusters (DOUBLES): • two electrons per cluster • Larger HBD signal
4 types of electrons in HBD FAKE SINGLE Type 2 Background : One-legged doubles SINGLE Signal non-phot One electron is not detected. They appear to be singles but are in fact doubles. SINGLE type 0 Background : open pairs DOUBLE type1 background Both electrons are detected by PHENIX
What I did • Search an event for an electron track (normal electron cut) • Get 1st electron • Then look for its HBD cluster ID, charge, size etc. • Search the event again for another electron track (loose cut) • No 2nd electron single (signal + type2) • Find 2nd electron: • Look for its HBD cluster. • Share same HBD cluster with 1st e double (type1) • Different HBD cluster single (signal + type0 + type2) • Real singles and Type 2 are indistinguishable (both appear to be singles: 1 electron/cluster)
Basic HBD cuts • Distance btw track projection & cluster < 4cm • HBD cluster size > 2 pads • Default HBD clusterizer: LBS clusterizer by Ermias. • Ermias’s cut on minimum cluster charge: 15p.e. • To cut out scintillations
Single electron clusters are composed of: signals background: one legged doubles (type2) background: open pairs (type0) 0<pT<1 1<pT<2 2<pT<3 SINGLES HBD charge distribution 3<pT<4 4<pT<5
Double electron clusters are composed of: background: doubles / type 1 clean background. 0<pT<1 1<pT<2 2<pT<3 DOUBLES HBD charge distribution 3<pT<4 4<pT<5
Background: one-legged doubles • Can be constructed from 2-legged doubles (type1), • Define: • R12 = • To get a clean sample of doubles, choose clusters with large charge • Use arbitrary cut at charge > 60 p.e. (justified later) • Assume all clusters > 60 p.e. to be real doubles. Two-legged doubles (type1) Type 2 one-legged doubles (type2)
Background: one-legged doubles singles single && charge >60 Type 1 charge Singles: (Type 2 dominant) Type 1 type Type 1 && charge >60

HBD charge Cut • Design a cut on HBD cluster charge • Reject electrons with HBD charge > cut value. • Ideally, this cut should: • cut out as many double clusters (photonic electrons) as possible. • Keep as many signal as possible • Keep S/B ratio as high as possible • S/B ratio is a function of the cut. • S/B = signal / (type0+type1+type2)
S/B vs. charge cut 0<pT<1 1<pT<2 2<pT<3 • S/B decline with cut • lower cut: • Cut out a lot of signals • higher cut: • Lower S/B ratio 3<pT<4 4<pT<5
Efficiency vs. charge cut 0<pT<1 1<pT<2 2<pT<3 • Efficiency = • Signals left after cut • Total signals 3<pT<4 4<pT<5
R12 vs. cut at cluster charge 0<pT<1 1<pT<2 2<pT<3 • R12 flat from • 45 p.e. to 65 p.e. • insensitive to the • cut after 45 p.e. • Stat. fluctuation at higher pT 3<pT<4 4<pT<5
