  6. 6 How to measure Rcc • Find J/ye+e- (2.9<Mee<3.3GeV). • Find ccJ/yg (DM=Meeg-Mee~0.44GeV). • Correct acceptance event by event. • Subtract background by event mixing of J/y and g. • Normalization regions : 0.1-0.3GeV and 0.6-0.8GeV • Run-5 (2005, 3.8 pb-1) and Run-6 (2006, 10.7 pb-1) p+p200GeV data is used. cc conditional efficiency if J/y is detected J/y acceptance Average over J/y cc acceptance

  9. 9 J/y acceptance and cc conditional efficiency if J/y is detected from GEANT (PISA) simulation ccJ/yge+e-g ~10% J/ye+e- ~2% for |yJ/y|<0.5 pT,J/y (GeV/c) pT,cc (GeV/c) cc acceptance~2%*10%=0.2%1/30,000 of produced cc is detected by PHENIX central arm

  10. 10 Feasibility study using PYTHIA and GEANT simulation Input Rcc=0.32 N(direct J/y):N(cc1J/yg):N(cc2J/yg)=68%:16%:16% NJ/y=3744 Black : Foreground Blue : Background Red: Foreground-background Green : Normalization regions (0.1<DM<0.3GeV and 0.6<DM<0.8GeV)

  11. 11 Black : Foreground Blue : Background Red: Foreground-background Green : Normalization regions Feasibility study using simulation (continued) Input Rcc=0 Input Rcc=0.68 Input Rcc=0.32 Input Rcc=1

  12. 12 Real data (Run-5 and Run-6 p+p 200GeV) Black : Foreground Blue : Background Red: Foreground-background Green : Normalization regions The fraction of J/y from cc feed down (Rcc) seems to be small.

  13. 13 RHIC energy Summary and outlook • The contribution of cc is important to understand the J/y data in heavy ion collisions. • Search for the cc meson via J/yg decay in p+p collisions is ongoing. • The fraction of J/y from cc feed down (Rcc) seems to be small. • The Rcc value will be obtained soon. • More and more statistics are needed (Run-8, 9, …) for detail study.

  18. Questions from audience

  19. Question 1 • Is it better to use muon pairs? The statistics of muon pairs are 5 times larger than electron pairs. • No. • The fraction of decays with J/y going to muon arm and gamma going to central arm is small. • So, the statistics of J/y+g in muon+central arms and the statistics in central arm are almost equivalent. • But, the energy of gamma in muon+central arm configuration is low, E~0.1(0.2)GeV. • This is worse situation than the central arm case with E~0.4GeV. • Does the fact mean that the cc measurement is not possible at RHIC-PHENIX? • No. • It can be possible in p+p collisions as I showed, while the larger statistics is needed. • But, it is very hard in heavy ion collisions. • (The measurement with NCC+FVTX+muon trigger is interesting even in heavy ion collisions, but the statistics are still necessary.)

  20. Question 2 • Is it better to use the isolation cut (p0 veto)? • No. • The acceptance of low-pT p0 is small, ~3% at p0 pT=0.6GeV/c (slide 15). • So, the p0 veto will not be effective for the cc measurement and it will introduce larger systematic error only.

  21. Question 3 • You did not take into account the cc0 contribution in your PYTHIA+GEANT simulation. Why? • Because the branching ratio of cc0J/yg decay is small, only 1.3% (slide 3). • If the production cross section of cc0 is much larger than ones of cc1 and cc2, we cannot neglect it. • But, we know the cc0 fraction is not large in the fixed target experiment and Tevatron. • So, the cc0 contribution can be negligible.

  22. Question 4 • In the PYTHIA+GEANT simulation, the net (foreground-background) distribution is lower than zero at the lower side of the cc peak. Why? • There is correlation between J/y and g in the foreground and most of g come from p02g decays. The correlation leads high mass of J/yg pairs. In the background, however, there is no correlation between J/y and g, and the J/yg pair mass is smaller. Therefore, the net distribution is lower than zero in simulation in the lower side. But, actually, this fact is not observed in the real data. Though, the J/y statistics is the same in the simulation and real data. • Why don’t you include such effect in your background subtraction? • I don’t believe the prediction capability of PYTHIA at such level.
