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
where
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]
after deriving the Taylor expansion of our function and considering only the first two terms, we get
The gas used in the CLAS Cerenkov counter is perfluorobutane
with index of refraction equal to 1.00153.
Electrons
The calculation of the number of photoelectrons emitted by electrons is shown below.

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. .

- EC_tot/P_vs_Number_of_Photoelectrons and EC_inner/P_vs_Number_of_Photoelectrons
Two types of cuts were applied on the distributions below, one on the energy deposited to the inner calorimeter

---|---|---|---|
_vs_nphe( ) | _vs_nphe( and ) | _vs_nphe ( and ) |

From the EC_tot/P_vs_Number_of_Photoelectrons histogram one can see that the released energy fraction( ) 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 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
how many pions are stil in the electron sample after the E/P cut.

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
and an outer region. The total energy absorbed by the calorimeter system is recorded in the variable . The momentum ( ) is calculated using the reconstructed track and the known torus magnetic field. The distributions of and are shown below where both have been divided by the electron momentum and no cuts have been applied.
Without any cuts we have 181018 entries. After using the following cut
After the cut on the energy deposited into inner part of electron calorimeter, number of entries decreases by 22%.

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)

Run Summary Table
The table below uses a characteristic DST file to try and estimate the sample size for a semi-inclusive analysis of pion electroproduction. The column marked "cuts" below indicates the number of events kept when the standard EC based electron identification cuts, described above, are used:
. The next step will be to compare unpolarized pion production rates in order to evaluate the CLAS detectors efficiencies for measuring charged pions with different torus polarities. The question is whether you get the same rates for negatively charged pions in one torus polarity to positively charged pions using the opposite torus polarity.

sc_paddle vs Momentum 5.7 GeV Beam Energy
There is a curvature problem. When B > 0 then I expect the high momentum electrons to hit the lower paddle numbers (inbending). I can see this when I look at the B>0 plot for electrons with cuts. When B < 0 then the electrons are bending outwards which makes me expect the the higher momentum electrons will high the higher numbered paddles. I do not see this for B>0 with electron cuts.
