Reaction

  • γ p → h'2(2600), p
    • h'2(2600) → K1(1400)+, K-
      • K1(1400)+ → K*(892)0, π+
        • K*(892)0 → K+, π-
  • Final State: p, K-, π+, K+, π-
  • Events generated with: Γh'2(2600) = 100 MeV/c2, t-slope = 5.0, 50.0 < Vertex-Z (cm) < 80.0

Analysis Overview

  • For each q = +/- particle in the reaction, all detected q = +/- tracks are tested as to whether or not they are that particle
    • e.g. If a q = + track has PID FOM > 1% for both the π+ & K+: allow both combinations (DO NOT take the best FOM as true!)
  • Maximum of 8 tracks per event (to cut down on memory spikes).
  • The analysis (cuts/histing/kinfits) is then performed on each possible track combination (events are only cut if every one of their track combinations is cut):
    • Required 45.0 < Track-Vertex-Z (cm) < 85.0
    • Require the combined FOM for PID (χ2 and NDF of all tracks summed together) be > 1%
    • Placed VERY wide cuts on the non-signal invariant mass peaks: reduces # of bogus track combinations to save time / cleanup histograms
    • Where kinematic fit: Require that the confidence level from the kinematic fit be > 1%
