Basic AnalysisBasic Analysis• Starting with raw (not skim) files• Applying cuts used to create skim files
– (e1+e2)>3.5 GeV (for 4.9<e0<5.5 GeV)– |px1+px2|<0.025 GeV– |py1+py2|<0.025 GeV
• Choose first recorded bit 2 per event to give HyCal time
• Look for photons within 10 ns window of HyCal• Choose the one “closest” in time to Hycal• Form all possible combinations of clusters in
events with at least 2 clusters, with emin=0.5 GeV

Geometric CutsGeometric Cuts• Central opening of
Hycal and the adjacent layer of modules are cut out by eliminating events with their coordinates within the square of |x0|<2*2.077 cm and |y0|<2*2.075 cm
• Optional cut on the vertical strip (|x0|<2*2.077 cm)

Pair ContaminationPair Contamination
Pairs of e+e- are difficult to distinguish kinematically from e pairs Eliminating cluster pairs where both clusters are charged cleans up distributions but efficiency of this cut is unknown. Solution in the present analysis is to cut out contaminated region
VETO Cut

Calculation of EfficiencyCalculation of Efficiency• Efficiency () is defined as the
fraction of Compton events generated over 4 reconstructed by HyCal using standard PrimEx software
• To obtain , use gkprim package and ‘prim_ana’-type reconstruction code
• This efficiency includes geometric acceptance, radiative losses in the target, as well as the detection and reconstruction inefficiency. (please see the note for more details)

Total Efficiency Total Efficiency
Efficiency (by tcounter) is evaluated separately for every group of runs with similar conditions as the HyCal gains, beam alignmentparameters and target material affect the result.

Radiative CorrectionsRadiative Corrections• Virtual: possibility of
emission and re-absorption of virtual photon by an electron during the scattering process
• Double Compton scattering– Soft: secondary photon of
energy k<<kmax, not accessible to the experiment
– Hard: secondary photon of energy k>kmax, accessible to the experiment
![Page 20: Status of Compton Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568151f8550346895dc02f2b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
‘‘Virtual and Soft’ Correction, Virtual and Soft’ Correction, SVSV
• Virtual corrections alone do not have a physical meaning because they contain an infrared divergence, which is a consequence of the fact that it is impossible to distinguish experimentally between virtual and real photons of very low energy. For this reason virtual corrections are considered simultaneously with the soft double compton process, which contains an infrared divergence as well. The divergencies cancel out in every order in , giving a physically meaningful cross section that corresponds to the probability for the Compton process to occur and no other free photons emitted.
• Cross section reduces to the Born term times a factor: d = d0[1+SV]• SV – function of one variable (energy or angle of the
scattered photon), makes a negative contribution

‘‘Double Hard’ Correction, Double Hard’ Correction, dhdh
• Another class of corrections to consider is the double Compton scattering where both final photons are accessible to the experiment
• Differential cross section for an incident photon of energy k striking an electron at rest to produce one photon with energy k1 emitted into an element of solid angle d1 in the direction 1, and a second photon with energy k2 to be emitted into an element of solid angle d2 in the direction 2, , is a function of 4 independent variables (besides the initial beam energy):
d(k; k1,1,2,)=f(k1,1,2,)
Possible to integrate over d2 to obtain the total correction d = d0[1+SV+dh]

Radiative Corrections, contRadiative Corrections, cont• Numeric integrations carried out using code from M. Konchatnyi
(see more details in the note)• To make the result relevant to a particular experiment need to
consider:– Detector resolution, E or/and – Minimum detected energy, E– How many particles are detected
• Some reasonable values (approximation only) E=50 MeV, = 0.002 rad, E = 500 MeV, lower limit of
integration determined by the minimum registered angle (set =0.00476 rad (3.5 cm on HyCal), and maximum determined by the minimum registered energy on the calorimeter.
This method also assumes that we can distinguish within our
defined resolution between events with 2 particles in the final state from events with 3 particles in the final state

Summary Summary Analyzed » 90 % of carbon and all of beryllium data with
the initial beam energy of 4.9-5.5 GeV We observe agreement with KN prediction in both total and
differential cross sections at the level of » 2 %. Systematic error in the present result is estimated to be about 3 %.
We do not observe any systematic shifts over the entire run period: no major changes in the tagging ratios?
Work in progress RC generator (hope to complete by next month) Analysis of tcounters 30-42: would be good to have more
accurate tagging ratios, currently they are all 0.95 Systematic error evaluation
