Anderson, Derek -- ISMD2019 Flash Talk
These are the slides I'll be presented at the 2019 International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (September 9th - 13th in Santa Fe). All participants presenting a poster are also allowed to
Update 08.26.2019 -- Run 9 pp: Pythia8 vs. Pythia6 Response Matrices With PtHat = (25, 30) GeV/c in Pythia8
Previously, I noticed that the reach of the response matrix (both in pTpar and pTdet) was substantially smaller in our Pythia8 sample than in our Pythia6 sample:
Anderson, Derek -- ISMD2019 Poster
This is the poster I'll be presenting at the 2019 International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (September 9th - 13th in Santa Fe). Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Update 08.19.2019 -- Pythia: Fitting Pi0 and Gamma Spectra With Levy Functions
Recently, I utilized levy functions as priors when unfolding our pi0 and gamma data:
Update 08.19.2019 -- Run 9 pp: Prior Comparison
Below I compare the priors used in the unfolding done here:
Update 08.19.2019 -- Run 9 pp: Unfolding Pi0 and Gamma Data with Improved Errors
Previously, I took a stab at unfolding our pi0 and gamma-rich data using only the embedding sample:
Update 08.19.2019 -- Run 9 pp: New R = 0.2 Gamma Unfolding
Recently, I tried unfolding the pi0 data using only the embedding sample. The details can be found in these posts:
Update 08.19.2019 -- Run 9 pp: Pi0 Unfolding Systematics
Presented here are the systematics corresponding to the recently unfolded pi0 spectra. The results (and details) of the unfolding can be found here:
Update 08.17.2019 -- Pythia: Fitting Gamma Spectrum With Power Law for EtTrg = 15 - 20 GeV
I've fit particle-level Pythia8 spectra with power laws to estimate some different priors for our unfolding scheme. The other bins of EtTrg for pi0 and gamma-direct triggers can be found here:

Update 08.16.2019 -- Run 9 pp: New R = 0.2 Pi0 Unfoldings
In light of the post below (and while we generate Pythia8 statistics with higher values of pThatMin), we have opted to push forward with unfolding our data using only our embedding (P
