Correlations & Fluctuations Workshop in Florence, Italy 37/7/2006
OverviewMotivation: Clusters from F&B multiplicity correlations at PHOBOS;
Two-particle angular correlation as another point of view to study in detail the multiplicity and shape of the clusters;
Definitions;MC studies;Cluster model and rapidity correlation function;Other studies in HI collision;
In this talk, mainly the analysis technique will be discussed since results of PHOBOS data are not ready for publication yet.

Background construction
Have to appropriately build mixed-event background to correct the acceptance:Particles from different events;Event vertices within 0.5cm (vertex resolution) are mixed.;Events within same centrality bin are mixed (not necessary for pp);In practice, a pool of 30000 events is used for event-mixing and many pools are combinedin the end.

Turning on the detector
Peak at (0,0) suffering from secondary effects:∆-electron(50%), γ conversion(40%) etc.
Since we have little information of the particles (only one hit), the secondary effects have to be corrected by MC simulation

Fortunately, the overall structure except the high spike doesn’t get distorted very much.Secondary effects sitting on top of the actual correlations at (0,0) need to be corrected.

How to handle the high peak
The physics we are going to study has a range of about 1 unit in ∆η.Cutting off a small region won’t cause too much loss of information.
First of all, we reject a small region of |∆φ|<5.625,|∆η|<0.3 from both foregroundand background which cause the biggest uncertainties based on MC simulation.
