The EPD FEE box on the NW corner of STAR has been filled. In my opinion, it has a real beauty and serious economy of space. The fibers have room to gently bend, and there is no strain

Continuing with the study of the gamma-rich purity in run 9 pp, I've checked the purity with a tighter zTtrk cut.

1M more events for Lambda in Au+Au 200GeV run-11 0-80%

Updated on Sun, 2018-03-04 00:17 by zhux. Originally created by llope on 2018-02-01 13:51.

Request TypeStandard Embedding request (particle in real events)

DescriptionThis request is the same as a previous request - this request is simply to add 1M more events.

The previous request is here:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starsimrequests/2017/jul/20/lambda-auau-200gev-run-11-0-80

Run numbers to use for this request are listed below.

AntiLambda in Au+Au 200GeV run-11 0-80%

Original request (followed below by additional information):

Particle: Lambda (& Lambda_bar)

Au+Au@200GeV

Run11

production: P11id

Trigger Setup: AuAu200_production_2011

minimum bias

Trigger Id: 350003, 350013, 350023, 350033, 350043

0.2 GeV < pT < 5.0 GeV (flat)

|y_lambda| < 0.5

0 < phi < 2pi

V_z < 30cm, V_r < 2cm, V_z - V_z(VPD) < 3cm

Centrality Defn: RefMult3

1 lambda per event

500K events

Additional Information:

1. Centrality from 80-100% is not needed. 0-5% to 70-80% is good (9 bins).

But if you think still this is too much, at least I need the most two central bins (0-5% & 5 -10%).

Boundaries :

refmult[9] = {10,22,43,76,125,193,281,396,466}

refmult3[9] = {16,34,67,120,196,301,440,618,725}

2. How about 5% of refmult embedded particles per event?

3. Run numbers (previous request):

[12133002 - 12133061] - good

[12129011 - 12129029] - good

[12127002 - 12127051] - good

12171015

4. Mag Field : RFF

5. I’m currently doing my analysis in the range of 0.2 GeV/c < pT < 2.0 GeV/c. But, Since Xianglei’s trees has the option of going up to 5GeV, I thought it would be an advantage to have a wide range incase if I happen to re-do the analysis in higher pT bin (2.0 < pT < 5.0). However, If it is too much open, then go for 0.2 GeV/c < pT < 2.0 GeV/c.

Sampled (Np,Npbar), 3 runs of 1M events each, AuAu 7.7

Updated on Tue, 2018-03-27 22:38 by zhux. Originally created by llope on 2018-02-01 10:43.

Request TypeStandard Embedding request (particle in real events)

DescriptionThis is the 4th of 4 requests.
This is needed to support a QM talk

Details here:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/tnonaka_embedding_request_summary.pdf

This request is described on page 8 of this pdf.

Note it is a series of three 1M event embeddings runs. In this case, the number of embedded protons and
antiprotons are to be obtained from sampling from provided histograms. Number of events
needed is 1M for 0-5%, 1M for 5-10%, and 1M for 10-15% centrality based on refmult3.

additional details (bad run list, pt slope, etc) may be found in files on the rcf
with paths provided by the pdf linked to above

Note 1M events for each of these three centralities is larger than the number of
real events available. Real events will be repeated. Please try to use as many
real events as possible to limit reuse.
