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: $EC_{tot}\gt 0.2*p$ and
$EC_{inner}\gt 0.08*p$. 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.

Center of Mass Frame Transformation

We have proton and electron. In the Lab frame electron is moving along the x-axis with momentum ;$\vec{p_e}$ and proton is at rest. The 4-vectors are:

Lab Frame

$P_e=$($E_e$,$p_e$,0,0) and for proton :$P_p=$($m_p$,0,0,0)

CM Frame

:${P_e}^{\prime}=$(${E_e}^{\prime}$,${p_e}^{\prime}$,$0$,$0$) and for proton :${P_p}^{\prime}=$(${E_p}^{\prime}$,${p_p}^{\prime}$,$0$,$0$)

Find $\beta_{CM}$ such that $P_{tot}^{CM}=0 =p_e^{\prime} + {p_p}^{\prime}$

$\left ( \begin{matrix} {E_e}^{\prime} \\ p_e^{\prime} \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} \gamma & -\gamma \beta & 0 & 0 \\ -\gamma \beta & \gamma &0 &0 \\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \\ 0 &0 &0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} E_e \\ p_e \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right )$

Using the last two equations we will get the following for x component:

${p_e}^{\prime}=-\gamma_{cm}(\beta_{cm} E_e-p_e)$

$p_p^{\prime} = - \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} m_p$

$\gamma_{cm}(p_e - \beta_{cm} E_e)= \gamma_{cm} \beta_{cm} m_p$

$\beta_{cm} = \frac {p_e}{m_p + E_e}$

Conservation of the 4-momentum gives us following

$(P_e)_\mu + (P_p)_\mu = ({P_e}^{\prime})_\mu + ({P_X}^{\prime})_\mu + ({P_{\pi^-}}^{\prime})_\mu$

From $\vec{e}p \rightarrow n \pi^+$ from CLAS

Kinematics of single $\pi^+$ electroproduction

From the above picture we can write down the momentum x,y and z components for pion in terms of angle and total momentum.

${p_{\pi x}}^{LAB} = p_{\pi}^{LAB} {sin {\theta}}_{\pi}^{LAB} cos {\phi}_{\pi}^{LAB}$

${p_{\pi y}}^{LAB} = p_{pi}^{LAB} {sin {\theta}}_{\pi}^{LAB} sin {\phi}_{\pi}^{LAB}$

${\phi}_{\pi}^{LAB} = arctg(\frac{{p_{\pi y}}^{LAB}}{{p_{\pi x}}^{LAB}})$

where ${p_{\pi x}}^{LAB}$ and ${p_{\pi y}}^{LAB}$ are the x and y components of the pion momentum.

$(P_e)^{\mu}$ - Initial electron 4-momentum
$(P_N)^{\mu}$ - Target Nucleon 4-momentum
$(P_e^{\prime})^{ \mu}$ - Scattered electron 4-momentum
$(P_h)^{\mu}$ - Hadron final state 4-momentum
$(P_m)^{\mu}$ - Meson final state 4-momentum

$h=n$, $m=\pi^+$ for $\vec{e} (\vec{p},\vec{e}^{\prime}) \pi^+ n$

In Inclusive $\vec{e} (\vec{p},\vec{e}^{\prime}) X$

Then The Missing Mass $W = (E_x ^2 - p_x ^2)$

In Exclusive $\vec{e} (\vec{p},\vec{e}^{\prime}) \pi^+ X$

Then Missing Mass $M = (E_h ^2 - p_h ^2)$

Conservation of 4-momentum gives

$(P_e)^\mu + (P_N)^\mu = ({P_e}^{\prime})^\mu + {P_h}^\mu + ({P_m})^\mu$

${P_h}^\mu = (P_e)^\mu - ({P_e}^{\prime})^\mu + (P_N)^\mu -({P_m})^\mu$

$q^\mu$ - 4-momentum of the exchanged virtual photon($\gamma$)

$q^\mu = (P_e^{\prime})^\mu - P_e ^{\mu} = (E_e ^{\prime}, {\vec{p}_e} ^{\prime}) - (E_e, {\vec{p}_e}) =$

$= (E_e ^{\prime} - E_e,{\vec{p}_e} ^{\prime} - {\vec{p}_e} ) = (0,{\vec{p}_e} ^{\prime} - {\vec{p}_e}) = (0, p_{e,x}^{\prime}\hat{x} + p_{e,y}^{\prime}\hat{y} + (p_{e,z}^{\prime} - p_{e,z})\hat{z})$

$\phi_{\gamma} = tan^{-1}(\frac{p_{e x}^{\prime}}{p_{e z}^{\prime}})$

$\theta_x = cos^{-1}(\frac{p_{e z}^{\prime} - p_{e z}}{\sqrt{{p_{e x}^{\prime}}^2 + {p_{e y}^{\prime}}^2 + ({p_{e z}^{\prime} - p_{e z}})^2}})$

$p_{e x}^{\prime} = p_{e x}^{\prime CM}$

$p_{e y}^{\prime} = p_{e y}^{\prime CM}$

$p_{e z}^{\prime CM} = -E_e \gamma_{CM} \beta_{CM} + p_{e z }^{\prime LAB} \gamma_{CM}$

$p_{e z}^{CM} = -p_{e z}^{LAB} \gamma_{CM} \beta_{CM} + p_{e z}^{LAB} \gamma_{CM}$

$p_{e z}^{LAB} = Beam Energy$

First the coordinate system is rotated around z-axis by $\phi_{\gamma}$ angle and then around y-axis by $\theta_x$ angle. Below is presented the transformation matrix.

$\left ( \begin{matrix} p_{\pi x}^{LAB{\prime}} \\ p_{\pi y}^{LAB{\prime}} \\p_{\pi z}^{LAB{\prime}} \end{matrix} \right )= \left [ \begin{matrix} cos {\theta}_x & 0 & -sin {\theta_x} \\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ sin {\theta_x} &0 & cos {\theta_x} \end{matrix} \right ] \left [ \begin{matrix} cos {\phi_{\gamma}} & sin {\phi_{\gamma}} & 0 \\ -sin {\phi_{\gamma}} & cos {\phi_{\gamma}} &0 \\ 0 &0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right ] \left ( \begin{matrix} p_{\pi x}^{LAB} \\p_{\pi y}^{LAB} \\ p_{\pi z}^{LAB} \end{matrix} \right ) =$

$= \left ( \begin{matrix} cos {\theta}_x (cos {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi x}^{LAB} + sin {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi y}^{LAB}) - sin {\theta}_x p_{\pi z}^{LAB} \\ -sin {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi x}^{LAB} + cos {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi y}^{LAB} \\ sin {\theta}_x (cos {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi x}^{LAB} + sin {\phi_{\gamma}} p_{\pi y}^{LAB}) + cos {\theta}_x p_{\pi z}^{LAB} \end{matrix} \right )$

${\phi}_{\pi}^{LAB{\prime}} = tan^{-1}(\frac{{p_{\pi y}}^{LAB{\prime}}}{{p_{\pi x}}^{LAB{\prime}}}) = tan^{-1}(\frac{-sin{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi x}^{LAB} + cos{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi y}^{LAB}}{sin{\theta_x}\times(cos{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi x}^{LAB} + sin{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi y}^{LAB}) + cos{\theta_x} \times p_{\pi z}^{LAB}})$

${\phi}_{\pi}^{CM} = tan^{-1}(\frac{{p_{\pi y}}^{CM}}{{p_{\pi x}}^{CM}}) = tan^{-1}(\frac{-sin{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi x}^{CM} + cos{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi y}^{CM}}{sin{\theta_x}\times(cos{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi x}^{CM} + sin{\phi_{\gamma}} \times p_{\pi y}^{CM}) + cos{\theta_x} \times p_{\pi z}^{CM}})$

$p_{\pi x}^{CM} = p_{\pi x}^{LAB}$

$p_{\pi y}^{CM} = p_{\pi y}^{LAB}$

$p_{\pi z}^{CM} = -E_{\pi} \gamma_{CM} \beta_{CM} + p_{\pi z}^{LAB} \gamma_{CM}$

 start calculating cross -section, Find luminosity of NH3 target used

 The luminosity of the continuous electron beam was [math]10^{34}[/math] [math]cm^{-2} sec^{-1}[/math] [4] [5]

Insert Luminosity calculation for NH3 and ND3 targets

$\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega} = \frac{1}{L} \frac{d^{2}N}{d\Omega dt}$

where

$L$ is the Luminosity.

$N$ is the number of interactions.

$\sigma$ is the total cross section.

$d\Omega$ is the differential solid angle.

$\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}$ is the differential cross section.

Conservation of Momentum $\Rightarrow$ :

$\vec{p}_e = \vec{p}_{e^{\prime}} + \vec{p}_{\gamma}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\vec{p}_{e^{\prime}} = \vec{p}_e - \vec{p}_{\gamma}$
${p_{e^{\prime}}}^2 = {p_e}^2 - 2 p_e p_{\gamma}cos {\theta_x} + {p_{\gamma}}^2$
$cos {\theta_x} = \frac {{p_e}^2 + {p_{\gamma}}^2 - {p_{e^{\prime}}}^2}{2 p_e p_{\gamma}}$

Conservation of Energy $\Rightarrow$ :

$E_e = E_{e^{\prime}} + E_{\gamma}$
$\sqrt {(m_e c^2)^2 + (p_e c)^2} = \sqrt {(m_e c^2)^2 + (p_{e^{\prime}} c)^2} + p_{\gamma} c$
$p_{\gamma} c = \sqrt {(m_e c^2)^2 + (p_e c)^2} - \sqrt {(m_e c^2)^2 + (p_{e^{\prime}} c)^2}$
$p_{\gamma} = \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_e)^2} - \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_{e^{\prime}})^2}$

The $cos {\theta_x}$ can be written in the following way
$cos {\theta_x} = \frac {{p_e}^2 + ( \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_e)^2} - \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_{e^{\prime}})^2})^2 - {p_{e^{\prime}}}^2}{2 p_e ( \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_e)^2} - \sqrt {(m_e)^2 + (p_{e^{\prime}})^2}) }$

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.
