Centrality
3 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Centrality
– Smaller bimp more mass (Nwn) more violent (e.g.: Nch, ET) is the event.
– All bimp are ordered from 0% (central) to 100% (most peripheral). Centrality is the percentile this event belongs to.
– Assuming that many global observable (e.g.: Npixels, Ntracks, ∑HCAL, etc…) monotonously (not even linearly!) depends on bimp the centrality is the same up to fluctuations.
– Npart, Ncoll, Are of overlap, eccentricity…

MB sample efficiency
6 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
About 6% of the Pb+Pb events at 2.75TeV are n+n collisions. For those events the trigger efficiency is the same as in p+p Using ATLAS (900 GeV) paper trigger efficiency is very close to 100% and vertex reconstruction efficiency is 67% for the lowest nBS
sel bin.
Putting an estimated numbers together the MB sample loss is 0.7*0.15(nch≈nBS
sel) *0.06~1%
Centrality uncertainties
7 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Accuracy of the Npart determination comes from 3 main factors:
In PHENIX (see left) the latter was the dominant factor: efficiency = 92±3% we expect ~99% Second important was the detector response fluctuations. ATLAS has wider coverage and increased particle production Model uncertainties contribute 1-3% to Npart. Real PEHNIX data
counts
Vertex and Tracking
8 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Vertex
Default vertex reconstruction method (chi2CutMethod=2) was taking too long time in HI events. In addition due to low luminosity we practically have no pile-up.
9 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
MinBias Central
Vertex efficiency ~99% (64 events out of 5k. Vertex finding accuracy in z is very good about 15um in central)
Tracking optimization
10 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
We are re-using the p+p definitions
– Associated / Primary
– (Reconstructed – Associated) / Reconstructed
Centrality based on truth
For the optimization we use truth based centrality because a) we do not know what multiplicity will be in real centrality bins b) the detector effects are determined by occupancy, not directly by the Pb+Pb bimp

Tracklets
15 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Tracklets in p+p
Tracklets using B and 1st (2nd) layers of Pixel detector allow effectively reduce the threshold down to 100 MeV, and thus get (almost) the full dNch/d measurement.
16 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Tracklets were tested on 0.9TeV and 7TeV MC and on the real data with p+p and produce good results.
pT>500MeV
Tracklets in HI
Tracklets also work very well in HI:
strange particle decays. Tracklets are the ideal method to get Day-1 multiplicity result in HI
17 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010
Issues:
Both can be easily solved with the 0-field to get the result faster.
– Centrality determination is implemented and working. – Might need calibration with real data.
– Vertex method changed, it works very well, very efficient. – Tracking works well in HI. The efficiency is ~70 in full range – Decrease by 15% in the most central events. – Fakes reach ~5% in the most central events after optimization
– Main goal is to reduce the threshold to 100 MeV and make the multiplicity measurement. – Works well in p+p and shows stable results in HI MC. – Would produce a very fast result with a zero field run.
