E781; Lambda_c using V0 package and recon_sv
I am testing the new version of the V0 package. It has full s,x,o kink
reconstruction (pion, kaon or proton in RICH). The new recon_sv routine
is used to reconstruct charm baryon decays with hyperon in final state.
It will be available in new Soap version when I complete the test.
The results of charmed Lambda selection in charged sigma with 2 pions
and lambda with 3 pions (both 3 prong) are presented in fig.1
Charged sigmas were identified using sigma-proton kink (a), sigma-pion
kink (b), sigma in Rich identification (c);
lambdas were found in m1-spectrometer (d).
Type entries with 4 sigma cut entries with 5 sigma cut
-----------------------------------------------------------
(a) 46 30
(b) 50 28
(c) 44 21
(d) 14 11
total 154 90
The point back chi2 cut is highly important to extract the signal.
I use a slightly different method to calculate pvtx_recn:
pvtx_recn = unco_recn**2/(s_geom+s_kine)
where unco_recn is uncoleaniarity angle between geometrical and
kinematical recn vectors, s_geom is sum of X,Y errors of primary
and secondary verteces over L decay squaredand s_kine is sum of
errors in X,Y slopes.
The last was not included into standard pvtx_recn.
In addition I have used foreign track cut (no foreign track in
secondary vertex with miss distance < 0.0008 and hyperon quality
cuts. Only best hypothesis is accepted in case of multiple kink
answers.
The 2 bin peak for L decay > 4 sigma statistics has 45 entries
with background level of 6 entries/bin.
So we have 33 +- 7 charm lambdas in our sample.
This means 44 +- 8 per 1M or 44000 Lambda_c decays in Selex
statistics.
