Trigger Simulation: Algorithm Trigger Simulation: Algorithm

1) Look for the hits in the last three detector stations i.e. station # 16, 17, 18.

2) Measure the space co-ordinates (x & y) of the hits in all the three stations. For a particular station z is fixed.

3) Calculate del X1(=x16-x17) , delX2(x16-x18) , delY1(=y16-y17) & delY2 (=y16-y18) and make hit-triplet by taking the hits (one from each of the three stations) which are in close proximity in space (x & y). Members of a triplet are chosen by applying cut values on delX & delY.

4) Accept only those events which have at least two such triplets.

5) Calculate the transverse co-ordinate r(=sqrt(x2+y2)) of the hits of each triplet plot r as a function of the horizontal co-ordinate z i.e. r = f(z).

6) Make straight line fitting such that r=ao+a1z & extrapolate it up to z=0.

7) Look for the hits in the stations 13, 14 & 15 and calculate transverse co-ordinate using r(=sqrt(x2+y2)) from projected positions.

9)Take the difference rpro-rcal and plot delr for each station and apply the transverse cut.

10) Finally look for the value of r at z=0 (r (z=0)=a0) and apply the final(4th cut).

Observation

• Overall background suppression : ~375

• Most effective cut : 2 hit-triplets/event

• Around factor of 2 reduction in reco. efficiency

• More optimization under progress

Developing new software :

Muon simulation with addition of extra hits

14

15

Method The addition is at the MC-Point level.• Take a MC point produced by GEANT.• Get its co-ordinates (x, y).• Apply Gaussian smearing both in x & y with a given resolution to

get a new point with a different (x, y). This is our added point.

- Added point has all other properties same as that of the

previous (eg. : mc_pdg, track-Id, motherID, momentum etc.).• Go through the digitization and add as hit.

Repeat above steps to add as many more hits as one wants.

We can vary the amount of the added hits for a track and amount of tracks for which hits are added independently.

Dynamic Range simulation for n-XYTER in MUCH

• Dynamic range is a quantity essential for design of the read-out chips.

• Determination of the energy deposition at each cell of the muon chambers ( in terms of MIP as muons give MIP signal).

• Take different cell sizes (2mm. – 4cm.) & find out the fraction of multiple-hit cells & singly-hit cells for particles generated by UrQMD.

• Optimize the cell size based on multi-hit fraction.

• For the optimal cell size find cell by cell energy deposition (E_dep) both for single muons (MIP spectra) & UrQMD particles.

• Apply different MIP cuts & calculate the loss due to saturation.

19

Fraction of multiple-hit cells= (total # of cells having >1 hit)/ (total # of cells hit)

Optimal cell-size : 4mm. for inner stations, 4cm. For outer stations (stn 12 onwards)

23

Summary:

Trigger study: Suppression factor upto 375 for minb

Hit addition: needs to optimise with new tracking algorithm. details need discussion

Digitization:Waiting for Dipanwita’s results

Dynamic range simulation: need to see the effect on tracking

24

MotivationMotivation

• One of the major experimental tasks of the CBM experiment is to identify hidden charms or charmonia (J’).

• They are rare probes i.e. they have very low multiplicity(~10-5 or 10-6). For example for central Au+Au collisions @25 AGeV beam energy multiplicity of J/ is 1.5*10-5 and that of ’ is 5*10-6.

• They have very low branching ratio (~5-6%) to decay into dimuon channel.

• Their detection requires an extreme interaction rate. For Example to detect one J/ through its decay into di-muons it requires around 107 collisions.

• Online event selection based on charmonium trigger signature is thus mandatory, in order to reduce the data volume to the recordable amount.

25

FocusFocus

• The main focus is to develop an algorithm to suppress the background as much as possible but simultaneously to preserve the reconstruction efficiency as much as possible.

• For feasibility study of the trigger algorithm for J/ we took 103 central and minimum bias events Au+Au events @ 25 AGeV.

• Reconstructed much-hits are used as input to our trigger study.• The idea is to look for high momentum muon tracks which reach up to

the last detector station & which propagate approximately in straight line (no magnetic field in Much system).

26

With the application of trigger cuts (applied in sequential order) reconstruction efficiency (normalized w.r.t 1000 events) decreases.

• Application of 1st trigger cut (minimum 1 hit-triplet per event) does not change the no. of reconstructed J/compared to that in absence of trigger.

• Application of 2nd trigger cut (2 hit-triplet /event) reduces the no. of reconstructed J/.

• Application of 3rd trigger cut (transverse cut in the penultimate detector triplet i.e. station no. 13, 14 & 15) does no reduce the reconstructed J/ further.

• Application of 4th & final trigger cut ( Extrapolation cut at the target) further reduces the no. of reconstructed J/
