  3. Introduction:Direct photons as probes for QGP Direct EM probes convey unperturbed information and their production probe the medium Tag medium-modified jets: Prompt photons from 2->2 hard process (Eg> 10 GeV) Medium modified production: Fragmentation photons (Eg < Ejet) Medium produced photon: Bremsstrahlung and jet conversion (Eg < Ejet) Thermal photons (Eg < 10 GeV) Challenge: Disentangle the different sources. Neutral mesons decay. But decay photons provide a first choice probe of medium effects Identify real photons (EM calorimetry, trigger) and e+e- from virtual and converted photons (tracking and PID, trigger) EMCal meeting

  4. Jet g Introduction:Why photon-tagged jets? ^ • Medium effects redistribute (qL) the parton energy, Ejet, inside the hadron jet (multiplicity, jT). A B • Redistribution can be best measured with the Fragmentation Function... If we know Ejet. • HI environment hinders precise reconstruction of Ejet. • If we measure Eg≈Ejet EMCal meeting

  8. Particle identification with the calorimeters • Different particles produce showers of different shapes. • One of the most sentitive parameter is the main axis of the shower ellipse l0 • Identification probability of photons in pp collisions close to 90%, in PbPb around 60-70% • Overlap of p0 decay photons can be rejected in PHOS for 30<E<100 GeV and in EMCal for 5<E<40 GeV. l0 l1 EMCal PHOS g g g g 50 GeV 70 GeV p0 p0 p0 p0 l20 l20 l20 l20 EMCal meeting ALICE-INT-2005-016, ALICE PPR vol II

  11. g/p0 discrimination in EMCalShower Shape Analysis, Summary and conclusions • Study presented for the CD2 • The PID helps to improve the ratio direct g/p0 in the region from 10 to 40 GeV, but it is still too small. • Problem: Revision of parameters in digitization implies that the PID parameterization must change. • 1° Priority: Redo PID studies. • An additional condition to separate direct photons from the rest of clusters (decay photons, hadrons, etc.)is needed: Isolation Cut EMCal meeting

  12. Direct photon identification in EMCal:The Isolation Cut method ALICE-INT-2005-014 -G. Conesa et al, NIM A 580 (2007) 1446 • Prompt g are likely to be produced isolated. • Two parameters define g isolation: • Cone size TPC IP • pT threshold • candidate isolated if: • no particle in cone with pT> pTthres • pT sum in cone, SpT < SpTthres   R candidate PHOS/EMCal EMCal meeting

  13. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:Event generation • pp PYTHIA collisions : • 3 simulation cases: • pp @ √14 TeV • pp @ √5.5 TeV, merged with HIJING, no quenching in PYTHIA. • pp @ √5.5 TeV, merged with HIJING, quenching: qhat = 50. • g +jet in final state (MSEL=10)  – jet • Promptgis the signal under study. • 2 jets in final state (MSEL=1) jet –jet • These events constitute the background: decayg,fragmentation gand hadrons. • ~10 k events in different pT hard bins. • Pb-Pb collisions@ √s = 5.5A TeV: pp simulations 2) and 3) merged with HIJING central events (b < 3fm) @ √s = 5.5A TeV. • Simple PID with shower shape used to discriminate photons from other particles: ifl02< 0.25 cluster is a photon (Cynthia H., PWG4 meeting, 12/07) • Full ALICE simulation with AliRoot 4.07 Release. EMCal meeting

  14. Fidutial cuts See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Structures in front of EMCAL increase the amount of conversions, more than the 50% expected. Apply fidutial cuts to get rid of extra particles in analysis of candidates to prompt photons (but extra clusters can be inside the isolation cone). EMCal meeting 14/40

  15. Fidutial cuts See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. About 25% of the calorimeter acceptance after the fidutial cut. Fidutial cut + PID Fidutial cut + PID EMCal meeting 15/40

  16. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal: Prompt photon reconstruction + PID efficiency Efficiency = reconstructed / all generated PbPb @ √5.5 TeV pp @ √14 TeV 50 % of g convert in the material before EMCal (5-10% in ITS-TPC). Cluster reconstruction efficiency in pp collisions is almost 95% but with shower shape selection the efficiency descends to 60-80% due to the non photon shape of some converted clusters. In PbPb collisions efficiency goes from 45 to 75 % EMCal meeting

  17. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:jet-jet clusters rejection with photon PID PbPb @ √5.5 TeV, no quenching pp @ √14 TeV Decay g not overlapped Overlapped decay g rejection no more feasible Jet cluster rejection : pp collisions: from 0.3 (large value due to decay g correctly identified as g) to 0.02 PbPb collisions: from 0.5 to 0.05. Increase at 30-40 GeV because PID for larger pT cannot separate effectively overlapped g EMCal meeting

  18. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:Prompt photon / jet clusters with and without PID PbPb @ √5.5 TeV, qhat=0 PbPb @ √5.5 TeV, qhat = 50 pp @ √14 TeV With PID prompt g to jet clusters (decay g, pi0, hadrons) ratio increases significantly but it is not enough. EMCal meeting

Direct photon identification in EMCal:Isolation Cut : Prompt photon / jet clusters Ratio isolated clusters ing-jet / isolated clusters in jet-jet Clusters selected with PIDl20< 0.25 PbPb @ √5.5 TeV, qhat=0 PbPb @ √5.5 TeV, qhat = 50 pp @ √14 TeV Prompt photons signal larger than jet-jet clusters background for pT larger than around 15 GeV/c for pp and quenched PbPb events EMCal meeting

  20. Pythia produces non hadronic decay photons: Prompt photons: Compton and annihilation processes Jet-Jet events: Initial state photons (ISR), radiated by hard parton before scattering. Few Final state photons(FSR), scattered partons radiate / fragment into bremsstrahlung / fragmentation photons Amount of fragmentation photons in previous simulations small. Pure Pythia Generation, millions of events in several pT hard bins. Isolation done on the pure PYTHIA particles, R=0.4, pTth = 1 GeV/c. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:Prompt & Fragmentation photons: pT distribution PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV || < 1 EMCal meeting

  21. || < 0.5 See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:Prompt & Fragmentation photons: pT distribution PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV NLO calculation thanks to Lamia B. EMCal meeting

  22. Prompt g are isolated, FSR at most 50% are not isolated, high z. Are isolated fragmentation photons similar to prompt photons? Isolated prompt and fragmentation g correlate with particles in the away side, not in the near side. But fragmentation function of both do not follow exactly the same trend because z for isolated fragmentation is not 1. See my talk in Prague ALICE meeting. Direct photon identification in EMCal:Direct & Fragmentation photons Isolation efficiency FSR photons EMCal meeting

  23. Direct photon identification in EMCal :Summary & conclusions • A simple PID and Isolation Cut have been applied and the measurements seem feasible for prompt g energies larger than 10-20 GeV/c in pp and Pb-Pb quenched collisions. • Need a large production of jet-jet events to improve background estimation after isolation and use a more sophisticated PID. • PYTHIA predicts that fragmentation photons in jet-jet events are produced in a same amount as prompt photons. Most of them are isolated, carry a large value of the parton energy. EMCal meeting

Where the correction should be more or less jet-jet clusters: effect of the p0 trigger 1 p0 with pT > 5 GeV/c in EMCal per event Number of clusters found in p0 triggered pp jet-jet events divided by clusters found in non triggered events. From now on pp p0triggered pp jet-jet events will be multiplied by the function fitted in the figure to apply correction for the triggering bias on the hadron contribution. The fragmentation photon yield is much more suppressed (not considered in the cluster points and next plots) f(pT<30) =0.86+1.55 e -0.072 pT Reconstructed clusters Pythia generated particles (more events than in rec. clusters) EMCal meeting

  35. With fidutial cuts With fidutial cuts With PID With PID Fidutial cuts Structures in front of EMCAL increase the amount of conversions, more than the 50% expected. Apply fidutial cuts to get rid of extra particles in analysis of candidates to prompt photons (but extra clusters can be inside the isolation cone). About 25% of the calorimeter acceptance after the cuts is taken out. EMCal meeting

  36. Other approach: photon conversionsStudy performed by Ana Marin (GSI) • Identify photons converting in the beampipe, ITS and TPC • Clean photon identification • Provide directional information • Non vertex background (important source of systematic errors in measurement of direct photons) can be rejected. • Independent measurement of the same quantities, with different systematics compared to PHOS/EMCAL. Increase level of confidence in the results • Counting annual statistics for pTg > 20 GeV/c (very very rough stimations) Loss of efficiency at high pT under investigation Needs to be improved !

Cluster reconstruction efficiency is almost 95% but with shower shape selection the efficiency descends to 60-80% due to the non photon shape of some converted clusters. PID rejects 15% of clusters generated by real photons and from 50 to 25% of converted photons. EMCal meeting

  41. With PID With PID Generated spectrag-jet : pp+PbPb @ √5.5 TeV Cluster reconstruction efficiency is almost 90%. With shower shape selection the efficiency descends to 45-75% PID rejects from 45% to 10% of clusters generated by photons and from 60 to 30% of converted photons. EMCal meeting

I would like to have larger amount of jet-jet simulations to quantify better the effect of other particles background at high pT EMCal meeting

  47. Prompt and ISR are isolated, FSR at most 50% are not isolated. Fragmentation photon (FSR) yield is larger than prompt photon for pT < 50 GeV/c but with isolation at pT < 20 GeV/c ISR yield is small, I will not consider it in next slides. No away side correlation. Direct & Fragmentation gIsolation efficiency. PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV Direct / Fragmentation ||<1 Isolation efficiency EMCal meeting

  48. Fraction of parton energy carried by the fragmentation photon PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV pTg > 5 GeV/c Obviously, fragmentation photon isolation is more efficient when it has an small part of the parton (near side jet) energy. Is hadron correlation with fragmentation photons and prompt photons the same? Could we reduce further the amount of low z fragmentation photons correlating with the away jet and putting a threshold on the energy? I will check. EMCal meeting

  49. pTg/pTjet > 0.5 pTg/pTjet > 0.9 g-jet energy/phi smearing PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV Jet energy reconstructed with the PYTHIA jet finder. We have to be careful when we say that g is back and has the energy of the jet. There is an smearing to take into account. EMCal meeting

  50. Correlation Function: Df PYTHIA pp collisions √s=14 TeV All charged hadrons with pT > 2 GeV/c Plots for quark jets (similar for gluon jets) As expected, without isolation fragmentation g have a correlation in the near and away sides, direct g only in the away side. Isolated fragmentation g only correlate in the away side To understand: why away side descends a bit in isolated FSR photons. EMCal meeting
