Determination of K vertex efficiency using a kinematical fit F. Ambrosino, P. de Simone, P. Massarotti, V. Patera • Why a kinematical fit • Fit performances: resolutions • K decay vertex efficiencies K charged meeting - 27 april 2004 P. Massarotti
Motivations for a kinematical fit The main aim is to improve the resolution of the neutral vertex position and the secondary charged track momentum (before actually seeing it !!), in order to have detailed vertex efficiencies plots. Other byproducts: • Improve 2 body/3 body separation • Possibly improve K momentum resolution • Improve photons timing resolution
Fit strategy 11 input parameters: • E, x, y, z, t for 2 photon candidates • Delta (see next slide) 4 constraints: • abs( t - | xclu - xv |/c - TOFK) = t0 (2) • Mgg = Mp0 • Angle between K and p0 vs p0 energy from 2 body decay
