Update 09.02.2018 -- Run 9 pp: tracking efficiency, systematic error (R = 0.2 jets)

Updated on Wed, 2019-02-13 15:58. Originally created by dmawxc on 2018-09-02 17:08.

Below are the systematic errors due to the tracking efficiency for R = 0.2 charged jets (for each bin of 'eTtrg').  The tracking efficiency was implemented as discussed in these posts:

And these were the parameters used for the unfolding:

  minus 5%   plus 5%    
eTtrg [GeV] gamma pi0 gamma pi0 default
9 - 11 SVD, k = 9 SVD k = 9 SVD, k = 10 SVD, k = 10 SVD, k = 11
11 - 15 Bayes., k = 2 Bayes., k = 2 Bayes., k = 2 Bayes., k = 2 Bayes., k = 2
15 - 20 SVD, k = 20 SVD, k = 10 SVD, k = 10 SVD, k = 10 SVD, k = 10

where 'gamma' indicates 'gamma-rich'.  In the default case, the same parameters were used for the gamma-rich and pi0 triggers.

eTtrg = 9 - 11 GeV:

eTtrg = 11 - 15 GeV:



eTtrg = 15 - 20 GeV:

Update [09.04.2018]: it turns out I was doing the direct-photon subtraction wrong (and not even correcting the default gamma-rich distribution!), so all of the plots have been replaced with the correct equivalents.  Not to mention, I've changed how the %-differences are visualized: now the lower panel shows the ratio of the variation to the default value.
