Particle Identification

Cherenkov

Cherenkov Theory

When the velocity of a charged particle is greater than the local phase velocity of light or when it enters a medium with different optical properties the charged particle will emit photons. The Cherenkov light is emitted under a constant angle [math]\theta_c[/math] - the angle of Cherenkov radiation relative to the particle's direction. It can be shown geometrically that the cosine of the Cherenkov radiation angle is anti-proportional to the velocity of the charged particle

[math]cos \theta_c=\frac{1}{n \beta}[/math]

where [math]\beta c[/math] is the particle's velocity and n - index of refraction of the medium.The charged particle in time t travels [math]\beta c t[/math] distance, while the electromagnetic waves - [math]\frac{c}{n}t[/math]. For a medium with given index of refraction n there is a threshold velocity [math]\beta_{thr}=\frac{1}{n}[/math], below [math]\beta_{thr}[/math] no radiation can take place. This process may be used to observe the passage of charged particles in a detector which can measure the produced photons.

The number of photons produced per unit path length of a particle with charge ze and per unit energy interval of the photons is proportional to the sine of the Cherenkov angle[1]

[math]\frac{d^2 N}{dEdx}=\frac{\alpha z^2}{\hbar c}sin ^2 \theta_c=\frac{\alpha z^2}{\hbar c}[1-\frac{1}{\beta^2 n^2 (E)}][/math]


[math]\frac{d^2 N}{d\lambda dx} = \frac{2 \pi \alpha z^2}{\lambda^2}[1-\frac{1}{\beta^2 n^2 (\lambda)}][/math]

[math]\beta=\frac{v}{c}=\frac{pc}{\sqrt{(pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2}}[/math]

after deriving the Taylor expansion of our function and considering only the first two terms, we get
[math]\frac{d^2 N}{dEdx}=\frac{\alpha z^2}{\hbar c}sin ^2 \theta_c=\frac{\alpha z^2}{\hbar c}[\beta^2 n^2 (E) - 1][/math]

The gas used in the CLAS Cerenkov counter is perfluorobutane [math]C_4 F_{10}[/math] with index of refraction equal to 1.00153.


Electrons

The calculation of the number of photoelectrons emitted by electrons is shown below. Electron mass [math]m_e = 0.000511GeV[/math], [math]n=1.00153[/math] and [math]\beta=\frac{p}{E} = 1[/math], because mass of the electron is negligible and also [math]\frac{\alpha}{\hbar c}=370[ eV^{-1} cm^{-1}] [/math]

The Hall B cherenkov detector is [math]\sim \; 0.7[/math] m thick radiator. We assume the PMTs used to collect light have a constant quantum efficiency of 8% for photons with wavelength between 300 and 600 nm.

[math]\frac{dN}{dx} [/math] [math]= 2 \pi \alpha z^2 [{\beta^2 n^2 (\lambda)} - 1]\int_{300nm}^{600nm} \frac{1}{\lambda^2} d\lambda \times (0.08)=[/math]
[math]= 2 \pi \alpha z^2 [{\beta^2 n^2 (\lambda)} - 1] (\frac {1}{\lambda})|_{600nm}^{300nm} \times (0.08) [/math]=
[math]= 2\times 3.14 \times \frac{1}{137} \times 1^2 \times [1.00153^2 - 1] \times \frac{1}{600} \times 0.08 [nm^{-1}] = [/math]
[math]= 19 \times 10^{-9} [nm^{-1}][/math]

For the number of photoelectrons we have the following

[math] N = 19 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.7 m [\frac{10^9}{m}] = 13.3 [/math]

That means the number of photoelectrons should be about 13.

The threshold energy for pions is ~2.5 GeV and for electrons 9 MeV.

[math]= 5.465 \times 10^{-9} [nm^{-1}][/math]

For the number of photons we have the following(for pions)

CLAS Cherenkov signal

Electrons

The cherenkov signal measured in CLAS for particles identified as electrons by the tracking algorithm is shown below. There are two distributions present. One distribution is centered around 1.5 PEs and the second distribution is at 8 PEs when two gaussians and a Landau distribution are combined and fit to the spectrum. As we will show below, the first peak is due to the misidentification of a negative pion as an electron.

e_Momentum_vs_Number_of_Photoelectrons

The flag cut applied on the number of photoelectrons means that in CLAS detector instead of 5 superlayers were used 6 of them in track fit. As one can see from the histograms of the Number of photoelectrons, the cut on flag does not have effect on the peak around 1.5phe and decreases the number of entries by 37.17 %. The peak is due to a high energy pions(>2.5GeV), which have enough momentum to emit Cherenkov light and also because of the bad collection of light, there are a particular polar and azimuthal combination of angles where The Cherencov Detector cannot receive emitted light. .

Two types of cuts were applied on the distributions below, one on the energy deposited to the inner calorimeter [math]EC_{inner}/P\gt 0.08[/math] and another one on the total energy absorbed by the calorimeter [math]EC_{tot}/P\gt 0.2[/math], to improve the electron particle identification. In this case was used dst27095_05 file, the beam energy is 5.735 GeV and target NH3.

From the EC_tot/P_vs_Number_of_Photoelectrons histogram one can see that the released energy fraction([math]EC_{tot}/P[/math]) at ~1.5 nphe peak is much smaller than it should be for electrons. In conclusion, the ~1.5 nphe peak is produced by the tail of negatively charged particles(pions). To eliminate negatively charged pions [math]EC_{tot}/P\gt 0.2[/math] cut is applied on Calorimeter. After the cut was applied the number of entries decreased by ~33.47%.


Plot to 25 PEs.  Have a histogram with total sum of three distributions.  Use the fits from the cherenkov spectrum to estimate

Cuts

Calorimeter based cuts

The distributions below represent two types of cuts applied to improve the electron particle identification (PID) using a 4 GeV electron beam incident on an NH3 target. The electron calorimeter is segmented into an inner[math]EC_{inner}[/math] and an outer[math]EC_{outer}[/math] region. The total energy absorbed by the calorimeter system is recorded in the variable [math]EC_{tot}[/math]. The momentum ([math]P[/math]) is calculated using the reconstructed track and the known torus magnetic field. The distributions of [math]EC_{tot}[/math] and [math]EC_{inner}[/math] are shown below where both have been divided by the electron momentum and no cuts have been applied.


[math]EC_{tot}\gt 0.2*p[/math]

Without any cuts we have 181018 entries. After using the following cut [math]EC_{tot}\gt 0.2*p[/math] we are getting 127719 entries, which is about 70.55% of 181018.

[math]EC_{inner}\gt 0.08*p[/math]

After the cut on the energy deposited into inner part of electron calorimeter, number of entries decreases by 22%.

Both cuts [math] EC_{tot}\gt 0.2*p [/math] and [math] EC_{inner}\gt 0.08*p [/math]

In case of using the cuts of the total deposited energy and the energy deposited into inner calorimeter number of entries decreases ~36%

summary table

The "# of triggers" columns represents the number of events which generated a signal above threshold in the calorimeter and the scintillator. The expected # of events column represents the number of reconstructed events with tracks that also make it through the cuts defined in the table.

The semi-inclusive analysis will focus on the 4 GeV and 6 GeV data which have both inbending and outbending torus settings. Specifically runs 28074 - 28579 ( 4 GeV) and Runs 27356 - 27499 and 26874 - 27198 (6 GeV)

Cut on the number of photoelectrons

In this case is used a cut on the number of photoelectrons, which is [math]nphe\gt 2.5[/math]. The plots below show the effect of the number of photoelectrons cuts on the Cerenkov distribution. We see that after using cut the number of entries decreases ~40.7%

Plot of EC_tot/P vs nphe for Electrons

Used file dst27070(Energy 5.735 GeV and Torus 2250)

p<3 GeV

The graphs below represents all electron candidates having a momentum smaller than 3 GeV. Negatively charged pions are the most likely particle to be misidentified as an electrons by the tracking software. A negatively charged pion having a momentum of 3 GeV would generate less than ?? photons in the cerenkov counter. As a result the electron candidates which [math]n_{pe} \lt 1.xx [/math] are thought to be misidentified pions. The images which follow represent the effects of several cuts made for the purpose of removing misidentified particles.

Raster and vertex correction

A raster calibration and a cut on the vertex distribution was made in order to select electrons from the polarized target, also the ones scattered from other materials in the beam path. A plot of the uncorrected vertex distribution is presented below for dst27070_02.B00 file(energy=5.7GeV Torus=2250)
