Update 05.25.2018 -- Run 9 Embedding: Closure Tests (R = 0.3, Charged)

Below are some closure tests using the response matrices from the Run 9 dijet embedding.  I had previously shown that the RFF and FF responses are consistent with each other, so you should be abl

JetCorr Follow-Up [05.22.2018] -- Trigger Et Distributions, Data vs. Pythia

During the JetCorr meeting on May 22nd, 2018, it was suggested that I should I lay the trigger 'eT' distributions from data and Pythia on top of each other.  See slide 13 in the presentation belo

JetCorr Follow-Up [05.22.2018] -- Jet DeltaPhi Correlations As a Function of Jet Pt

A question that came up during my presentation in the JetCorr weekly meeting on May 22nd, 2018 was why is there a surplus of embedding jets (relative to data) across the whole range of delta-phi

Update 05.21.2018 -- Run 9 embedding: Jet Reconstruction Efficiency With Variable bins (R = 0.3, Charged)

Following up from the previous post:

Update 05.18.2018 -- Run 9 embedding: Jet Reconstruction Efficiency (R = 0.3, Charged)

We need to know the jet reconstruction efficiency to correct the unfolded measured spectrum, so this is a quick study of the reconstruction efficiency for R = 0.3 charged jets.  There are essenti

Update 05.16.2018 -- Run 9 pp: EtTrg = 9 - 15 GeV Spectrum

Here are the pTcorr spectra for eTtrg = (9, 15) GeV, R = 0.3, charged recoil jets.  The distributions have been normalized by the no. of triggers, eta acceptance, and bin width.

Update 05.16.2018 -- Run 9 pp: R = 0.3 Binning Definition

I've decided on a binning to stick with for the detector recoil jet 'pTcorr' distributions (the 'R = 0.3', charged recoil jet distributions, that is).  The last couple of bins for each trigger ha

First look at EP resolution in 27 GeV Au+Au

A first look at the event-plane resolution for Au+Au collisions at 27 GeV, compared to the same quantities from the Isobar collisions at 200 GeV.

Update 05.14.2018 -- Run 9 Embedding: Response Matrix Check

Yesterday I took my first stab at calculating the response matrix for R = 0.3 charged jets using the Run 9 dijet embedding:

Update 05.13.2018 -- Run 9 Embedding: Response Matrices

Here is the first stab at the response matrices as calculated using the Run 9 dijet embedding sample.

Update 05.10.2018 -- Run 9 Embedding: Charged Hadron Triggers, Jet Comparisons

Previously, I checked how the track and tower distributions agree between pi0-triggered data (Run 9 L2gamma) and charged hadron-triggered embedding (Run 9 dijet sample):

Update 05.09.2018 -- Run 9 Embedding: Charged Hadron Triggers, FF Check

Up until now, I've only been using the Reversed Full Field (RFF) configuration of the Run 9 dijet embedding.  The sample was produced with a Full Field (FF) configuration as well, and s
