A template version for Ben to use
Goals of the π0 Analysis: For the long term, and for July
• Show that the ECAL calibration works well for HI events Supports the photon jet studies
• Excellent first PR plot for the HI program, as it was for pp The π0 is prolifically produced in HI events,; just a few days running
will be sufficient to demonstrate the mass peak
• The RAA of the π0 at the LHC would be a certain PRL Can CMS take advantage of its acceptance coverage over ALICE in a
wide enough pT range over a wide enough centrality range?
• Deliverables planned for the July exercise Show that a π0 mass peak can be reconstructed
Show the mass peak over a wide enough pT range, and a wide enough centrality range
Use the accepted pp reconstruction software (Cal-Tech and Rome)

What Was Done In 2-3 Days (While Otherwise Busy for CMS-HI)
• Ben Snook Ported Cal Tech 3x3 cluster finder software to CMSSW_3_7_0
Showed a reconstructed mass peak in peripheral events with this Cal Tech software
Worked with Shahram of the Rome group to start the porting their software to HI analysis; will complete this work next week
The Cal Tech and the Rome pp software have the (to-be-certified) procedures for doing acceptance and mass corrections in CMS
What works in pp should work similarly in peripheral HI events
• Charles Maguire Private 3x3 cluster finding software, based on Cal Tech software
Adapted to include MC matching (will be applied to JEX results)
Showed a mass peak in three centrality bins: 20-30, 30-50, 50-100 Over a wide enough pT range: 3.0-8.0, 2.5-8.0, 2.0-8.0 GeV/c

Confirming Results from Charles Maguire
July 16, 2010 Contribution to high_pT Report for CMS-HI Annual Meeting at CERN 6
Mass peak from 30K NZS Events in 50-100% Centrality Range pT Range is 2.0 to 8.0 GeV/c
This would be our “Day 1” PR plot showing good HI data taking
July 16, 2010 Contribution to high_pT Report for CMS-HI Annual Meeting at CERN 7
Mass peak from 30K NZS Events in 30-50% Centrality Range pT Range is 2.5 to 8.0 GeV/c
A good mass peak is still visible, but occupancy corrections are needed
July 16, 2010 Contribution to high_pT Report for CMS-HI Annual Meeting at CERN 8
Mass peak from 30K NZS Events in 20-30% Centrality Range pT Range is 3.0 to 8.0 GeV/c
The mass peak is at the visibility limit; strong occupancy corrections will be needed
Summary
• A π0 mass peak is observed in the JEX NZS data
• While the most central (0-15%) events will be difficult to obtain in Week 1, the 20-30% and higher are will in reach
• The pT range is acceptably wide

Motivation
July 16, 2010 Contribution to high_pT Report for CMS-HI Annual Meeting at CERN 11
• π0 reconstruction efficiency is seen to be η-dependent
π0 pT integrated yield spectrum shown at ECal February 23 meeting
Distribution in η for reco π0 at fixed pT from MC with uniform η-generation
Reco efficiency for the π0 is seen to be strongly η-dependent in both studies
pp study will likely choose some ηmax, and select a few η bins < ηmax
How do the photon energy and η cuts affect the reco efficiency as function of pT?
• A cut is placed on both photon energies Choose initial photon energy cut at 0.75 GeV (pp study at 0.50 GeV)
• This cut number will be studied for signal/background optimization Minimum Bias heavy ion running in 2010 will study ECAL in HLT
• Different η-cuts on the parent π0 are then compared Used a first MC generator which has a uniform pT and
a uniform η distribution of the parent π0, 1.2M single π0 events
Second examples are from the standard HI MC generator HYDJET • This generator has a realistic pT spectrum and a realistic η distribution
• 9,000 minimum bias 2.76 TeV events generated at MIT (test production sample)
• Last set of comparisons looked at reconstructed π0
These comparisons quantify the effect of the photon conversions, and other sources of reconstruction losses

The combination of cuts in the photon energies and the η-value of the parent π0 leads to dependencies in the pT efficiencies.
The raw pT distribution will have to be corrected for this dependency.
The above results are only from a simple generator level study. They do not include other efficiency losses such as photon conversion

Summary
• Initial, learning study of pT dependent correction factors These correction factors show a coupling between the choice
of the η window and the choices for the photon energy cuts
• Similar work being done by people at CalTech and at Rome for pp analysis Plan is to get a unified set of correction factors based on η and π0 energy
This coupling can be studied first at the generator level, using different generators, with a goal to quantifying the systematic effects
Second phase of the study looked at the correction factors after the reconstruction step (photon conversion losses, cluster losses, ...)
• Future Work Depends on the guidance from the pp analyzers
Will repeat the studies using the pp reconstruction code, with Ben
• Personal Schedule (planning to be at CERN for June CMS week)
Major review of CMS-HI computing plan by DOE-NP on June 2
• It is critical to get a good review in order to get first funds in the summer
• Assuming a 50% occupancy level preparing for this review (Off-Line coordinator)
