Monte Carlo Asymmetries
Updated on Sat, 2008-09-27 10:58. Originally created by kocolosk on 2008-09-27 09:46.Here are the asymmetries for STD, ZERO, GS-C, and MIN that I get out of PYTHIA with the minbias trigger condition applied:
Figure 1: raw minbias asymmetries
and here’s what I get after applying the pT reweighting:
Figure 2: minbias asymmetries after reweighting jet pT spectrum
Figure 3: jetpatch asymmetries
Figure 4: difference between Figures 3 and 1
Figure 5: difference between Figures 3 and 2
Finally, these four plots show the effect of the minbias pT reweighting on the bias systematic for each scenario:

Updated on Fri, 2008-09-26 12:46. Originally created by mattheww on 2008-09-26 12:46.I used the 2006 MuDsts to generate the turn on curves for the JP1 and JP2 triggers. Both plots are integrated over all jet patches.
Concerning the 'floating' mass peak and Zgg
Objective:
Explore the pt-dependent mean mass position in data and MC and perhaps draw some conclusions about the quality of our simulations.

Special Attention Ought to be Paid to Zgg
The collaboration has concerns about the SMD, and not without reason. They, they SMDs, have been notoriously hard to understand and model.
Mean pT in z bins
I looked into the mean transverse momentum for pions and jets in each of my z bins. First, here’s a comparison of data (black points) and Monte Carlo (red lines) for the BJP1 trigger:
It looks good to me, so I went on to compare simulations for jet patch and minimum-bias triggers:
In hindsight, this plot makes perfect sense — the trigger hardens the pT spectrum for the jets, so each JP z bin (which integrates over 10-25 GeV) has a higher average jet p_{T} than the MB version.
Now, this 3 GeV p_{T} shift means that we’re biasing the sample in each z bin towards higher x. This is almost certainly the source of the observed trigger bias in the Monte Carlo asymmetries for π+. So, what’s the next step?
