Questions

  • Why are so many "photons" reconstructed? How can we reduce this?
  • What is the actual reconstruction efficiency?
  • How many photons reach the FCAL without converting?
    • Efficiency for non-converting photons?
    • Can we recover converted photons?
  • Energy resolution, etc.

1 GeV photon events

Mihajlo in GlueX-doc-823 (2007) says for 1 GeV photons:

  • 99.6% efficiency for photons that reach FCAL
  • 37% photon conversion before FCAL
  • Taking into account single clusters from photons that converted close to the FCAL face, the overall photon reconstruction efficiency was estimated to be 77%
  • 4% energy resolution at 1 GeV

Has anything changed since 2007? How does b1pi sample differ from single photon sample?

Efficiency

Energy distribution of thrown photons:

  • Black=all thrown photons
  • Red=photons which reach the FCAL without converting (determined using DFCALTruthShower object)
  • Blue=photons which reach the FCAL without converting AND are reconstructed successfully (fabs(theta_thrown - theta_recon) < .004 && fabs(phi_thrown - phi_recon) < .08)
