Repository of analysis cuts

This page documents the most important set of cuts that we reoutinely use for analysis in the beam test

System test - updated 26/11/2007

• Look only good events with one track and a hit in the last tracaker layer
  kBaseCut = 'TkrNumTracks>=1 && Tkr1LastLayer==0'
• Time between two events has to be greater than 1ms to cure the pedestal drift issue
  kDataCut = '(GemDeltaEventTime*50/1000000)>1. && EventGtccFifo==0'
• Process fiducial cuts (Nicola's cuts) to remove double particles
  kEMaxCut = 1.e6
  if kEnergy>2500 :
  kBaseCut += '&& CalEnergyRaw>200'
  if (kEnergy == 500 ):
  kEMaxCut = 445./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 1000 ):
  kEMaxCut = 900./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 2500 ):
  kEMaxCut = 2200./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 5000 ):
  kEMaxCut = 4500./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 10000 ):
  kEMaxCut = 9000./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 20000 ):
  kEMaxCut = 17000./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy == 49980 ):
  kEMaxCut = 44000./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy > 90000. and kEnergy < 100000):
  kEMaxCut = 90000./kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy > 190000. and kEnergy < 201000.):
  kEMaxCut = 140000/kAbsCosAngle
  elif (kEnergy > 270000. and kEnergy < 300001.):
  kEMaxCut = 180000/kAbsCosAngle
  kBaseCut += '&& CalEnergyRaw<%s' % kEMaxCut
