Backgrounds • Dominant background: low Pt hadrons decaying in muon arm • W signal to background 3/1 requires rejection of 1000 • Other backgrounds • Punch through hadrons • Other decay muons • cosmics R.Seidl: status of simulation

Run9 “W m” analysis • This run still old muon trigger, heavily prescaled • Goals: • confirm background yields at high momentum, • check hadronic cross section in muon arms • Confirm cosmics rate • Sampled muon trigger luminosity : ~0.7 pb-1 • 7 muons each from W decays expected • Analysis is ongoing, framework for longer 500 GeV runs will be set R.Seidl: status of simulation

Outlook • PHENIX is well prepared for the Wmuon measurements in the rapidity range 1.2 < |h| < 2.2(2.4) from run11 and afterwards: • Trigger capabilities ready for run 11 • Additional redundancy after run 11 and • Additional background reduction with FVTX R.Seidl: status of simulation
Backup R.Seidl: status of simulation
So where do the MuTRG upgrades come in? • Triggering: • So far only 1D, in run9 prescaled by factor 30-120: • 10 pb-1 become ~0.1 • W yield in muon arms: a handful • No prescale for MuTRG, • high MuTRG efficiency (not included in plots) • RPC timing: • Cosmics reduction: • Small time window (factor 5) • Early opposite site arm veto (requires RPC1) • Spin crossing information (also important for non W muon arm spin measruements, BBCs will always fire) • even MuTrgFee upgrade samples over several crossings • Wmu track isolation/road quality • RPCs highly efficient, sampling only over one clock tick allows to reject other muon tracks potential for isolation cuts • Addition RPC3 point for muon Road, Kalman fitter improves signal quality (currently being implemented/studied by Richard Hollis) R.Seidl: status of simulation
What do we need for the wm analaysis? • Signal: • Momentum Smearing, charge reconstruction • Efficiencies • Polarized yields (Rhicbos, Pythia, DSSV?) • (offline) Backgrounds: • Contributions • Cut optimization • Muon system • Internal and relative alignment • Real position resolution • Reconstruction including new detectores (FVTX, MuTrg, RPC ), new variables • Muon Trigger • Efficiencies, turn-on curve • Beam backgrounds R.Seidl: status of simulation

Overall reconstruction efficiency and fake rate Closed symbols: correct charge efficiencies Open symbols: wrong charge Cut -1 : no cuts any charge Cut -2: no cuts right charge Cut 0: basic cuts, right charge Cut 5 : tightest cuts R.Seidl: status of simulation
Overall effies with cuts:absorber does not affect effies but resolution does Efficiencies reduced at low Pt with standard cuts (contains a 15 GeV minimal cut) Tightest cuts is severely affecting the signal have to be checked R.Seidl: status of simulation
Backgrounds: • Low Pt muons from decays (abundant, reason for Trigger) • High Pt muons: • Fall off relatively fast • High Pt punch-through hadrons: • Sufficiently reduced by absorbers • Fake high Pt muons (mostly low Pt kaons) • Cosmic hight Pt muons • Z background small, possibly nonzero asymmetry, will be included in global analysis R.Seidl: status of simulation
Real muon backgrounds • Large amounts of decay muons from light processes as well as heavy flavor dominating at low Pt Triggering required • Yields below W yields above ~15 GeVoffline not a problem R.Seidl: status of simulation
High Pt Punch-through hadrons • Get reconstructed at roughly at right momenta • Initial yield terrifying • Absorbers reduce the yield substantially • Some effect of muon cuts R.Seidl: status of simulation
Fake high Pt background: Origin • Most hadrons decay in central region or first absorbers • Those surviving basic cuts decay within MuTr volume • Overall and cut decay muons in Muon arms reduced by absorber (no 10cm 35 cm) R.Seidl: status of simulation
Cosmics (performed by GSU) • Rate sounds low, but depending on RHIC luminosity this can be a substantial background • Matching cosmics with other side will be important • Additional timing cuts through RPCs can reduce rate further (time window and RPC1 before collision hit) • Background likely to be ok R.Seidl: status of simulation
Describe in detail what is and is not included in A_L simulation results • Data points: • Events from RHICBOS + full detector simulation + reconstruction • 1.2 < h < 2.2 both arms combined • Efficiencies of acceptance and reconstruction (70-80%, including charge reconstruction) • Smearing of the reconstructed momentum (through simulation and reconstruction) • Fixed 3 / 1 Signal to background ratio (requires absorber + tighter cuts) • 70 % beam polarization • 300 (1300) pb-1 on tape corresponding roughly to RHIC projections until 2013 (and RHIC-II) • Generated asymmetries • Events RHICBOS, 1.2 < h < 2.2 • Smearing of the reconstructed momentum (performed accd. to smearing matrix in finer binning on polarized and unpolarized yields separately)
