BCAL

Description Variable Value File Line
fADC counts -> physical units, 100 keV/count (?) a_scale 0.0001 DBCALHit_factory.cc 38
non-linear shower energy corrections DBCALShower_factory_IU.cc 23-46
sigma(z) estimation, cm (with TDC info, from NIM article) m_sig_z 1.1 / sqrt(E) DBCALPoint.cc 96
sigma(z) estimation, cm (without TDC info, from NIM article) m_sig_z 30. DBCALPoint.cc 104

In DBCALUnifiedHit_factory::brun():34-119 - Need to revisit timewalk corrections.

Various clusterizing parameters/calculations:

DBCALCluster.cc:

  // The method below for determining sig_theta works better than the one
  // above. sigma_z is determined using errors when reconstructing MC data.
  double sigma_z = sqrt(1.394*1.394/m_E + 0.859*0.859);
  m_sig_theta = sigma_z*sin(m_theta)*sin(m_theta)/DBCALGeometry::BCALINNERRAD;

DBCALCluster_factory.cc:

  In DBCALCluster_factory::evnt(), energy threshold is 5*k_MeV

  In DBCALCluster_factory::clusterize()
    float seedThresh = 1*k_GeV;
    float minSeed = 10*k_MeV;

  In DBCALCluster_factory::overlap( const DBCALCluster& highEClust,
                                    const DBCALCluster& lowEClust )
  //deltaPhi_force_merge and delta_z_force_merge were determined by looking
  //at the separation of decay photons from pi0's from a pythia sample.
  //There are no events where the decay photons have separation
  //(delta_phi < 0.2 && delta_z < 25 cm), so in most cases it should be safe
  //to merge clusters together if they are so close.
  const double deltaPhi_force_merge = 0.1; //radians
  const double delta_z_force_merge = 15.0*k_cm;

  //A major cause of extra clusters are lower energy hits, which have poor
  //z-resolution and so are not properly merged. Treat low energy
  //clusters (< 40 MeV) as a special case. Again, hopefully this is only
  //a temporary fix until we have a more comprehensive solution.
  const double delta_z_force_merge_low_E = 40.0*k_cm;
  const double low_E = .04*k_GeV;
