Problem

Even after timing cuts, still have large background under pi0 peak.

Splitoffs?

  • Splitoff suppression in Crystal Barrel, CLEO
    • Various discriminators to distinguish between splitoffs, photons
      • Distance/angle between potential parent cluster and potential splitoff
      • Energies of parent and splitoff
      • E9/E25 E9.E25.png
      • Left-right/up-down asymmetry Fcal.asym.png
    • Feed this into a neural net to determine splitoff probability
    • Alternate FCAL clustering to minimize splitting of hadronic showers (naive algorithm just to group together neighboring hits)

BCAL?

What's next

Better understand origin of these extra clusters.
