Centrality

  • Impact parameter drastically changes the nature of the HI collision:

– Smaller bimp more mass (Nwn)  more violent (e.g.: Nch, ET) is the event.

  • Definition:

– All bimp are ordered from 0% (central) to 100% (most peripheral). Centrality is the percentile this event belongs to.

  • bimp cannot be directly measured.

– 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.

  • Other centrality parameters:

– Npart, Ncoll, Are of overlap, eccentricity…

Centrality Implementation

  • HICentrality package provides centrality in 1% bins
  • Based on observables:
  • Total energy on the EM level as calculated from cells
  • Total number of silicon pixel clusters
  • Hijing truth
  • Calibration:
  • private, latest 15.6.9.3. file HICentralityCalibrations.root is in repositiory and It

needs to be copied to run area by standard get_files python utility.

  • Validation:
  • HIValidation package, runs in Athena rel. >= 15.9.0 (dev)

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:

  • Model uncertainties
  • Detector response fluctuations
  • Trigger efficiency

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

slide-9

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

  • Truth track:
  • mc_barcode -> at(truth_track_0pt) > 0
  • mc_barcode -> at(truth_track_0pt) <200000
  • mc_charge -> at(truth_track_0pt) > 0
  • fabs(mc_gen_eta -> at(truth_track_0pt)) > 2.5
  • mc_gen_pt-> at(truth_track_0pt)) > min_pt
  • Reconstructed track:
  • fabs(trk_d0_wrtPV -> at(reco_track))<1.5
  • fabs(trk_z0_wrtPV -> at(reco_track)*sin(theta))<1.5
  • fabs(trk_eta -> at(reco_track)) < 2.5
  • trk_pt-> at(reco_track)> min_pt
  • Associated track:
  • trk_mc_index -> at(reco_track) > 0
  • trk_mc_probability -> at(reco_track) > 0.5
  • Efficiency:

– Associated / Primary

  • Fake Rate:

– (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

Tracking optimization

12 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010

For each setting we checked efficiency and fake rates in pT, rapidity, and

  • centrality. And also CPU/memory use.

Tracklets

15 Sasha Milov HI walkthrough Sept 13, 2010

slide-16
SLIDE 16

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

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Tracklets in HI

Tracklets also work very well in HI:

  • The occupancy of pixel remains low in the most central events
  • Proximity to the vertex greatly diminishes the uncertainly due to

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:

  • fake rate (can be removed by background subtraction techniques)
  • particles with pT < 100 MeV.

Both can be easily solved with the 0-field to get the result faster.

  • Centrality

– Centrality determination is implemented and working. – Might need calibration with real data.

  • Tracking optimization for HI

– 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

  • f the tracking parameters, predominantly at high 
  • Tracklet analysis

– 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.

SLIDE 21
  • HICentrality algorithm is now run by HIRecExample heavy ion

reconstruction configuration by default. The doHIGlobalVars and doHICentrality flags are turned on.

  • The default calibration file HICentralityCalibrations.root is stored in

repositiory and installed during the build. It needs to be copied to run area by standard get_files python utility.

  • In HICentrality algorithm the HICentralityData object is created and

registered with StoreGate under the name of HICentrality for each event. The centrality bins are calculated with 100x1% precision and a default 10x10% schema is setup in centrality object.

  • 1% bins are available by methods of HICentralityData class:

GetImpactParameterBin(), GetNwoundedBin(), GetNcollBin(), GetCaloCellEnergyBin(), GetNumberOfSiClustersBin()

  • selected schema bins are available by other methods:

GetImpactParameterBinBySchema(), GetNwoundedBinBySchema(), GetNcollBinBySchema(), GetCaloCellEnergyBinBySchema(), GetNumberOfSiClustersBinBySchema()
