1 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 1 Study B and D Contributions to Non- photonic Electrons via Azimuthal Correlations between Non- Photonic Electrons and Charged Hadrons Xiaoyan Lin 林晓燕 (for the STAR Collaboration) Central China Normal University Wuhan, P.R. China

2 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 2  Motivation  Data analysis ---- Electron identification ---- Photonic electron background ---- Electron-hadron correlations  Preliminary results of B/(B+D)  Summary Outline

3 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 3 Heavy quark R AA has the similar magnitude as light quark R AA. The high p T region non-photonic electron R AA is surprising ! Where is the bottom contribution? Features in Heavy Quark Measurements at RHIC ----Non-Photonic Electron R AA

4 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 4 The decay kinematics of D and B mesons are different! The same D and B v 2 can lead to very different non- photonic electron v 2 ! Features in Heavy Quark Measurements at RHIC ----Non-Photonic Electron v 2 Y. Zhang, hep-ph/0611182 PYTHIA Reduction of v 2 at p T > 2 GeV/c. Bottom contribution??

5 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 5 Quantitative understanding of features in heavy quark measurements requires experimental measurement of B and D contributions to non-photonic electrons ! Such information should be best obtained from direct measurement of hadronic decays of charm and bottom mesons. This motivates the STAR vertex detector upgrade! See Talk by Andrew Rose (1.4) B and D Contributions to Electrons Poor (wo)man’s approach to measure B/D contributions to non-photonic electrons ---- e-h correlations X.Y. Lin, hep-ph/0602067

6 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 6 PYTHIA Simulation of e-h Correlations B D Associated p T > 0.3 GeV/c. Significant difference in the near-side correlations. Width of near- side correlations largely due to decay kinematics. X.Y. Lin, hep-ph/0602067

9 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 9 The purity of electron sample is above 98% up to p T ~ 6.5 GeV/c. Electron ID Using TPC and EMC

10 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 10 The combinatorial background is small in p+p collisions. Reconstructed photonic = Opposite sign – Same sign. Photonic electron = reconstructed-photonic/ ε. ε is the background reconstruction efficiency calculated from simulations. m<100 MeV/c 2 Photonic Background Electron candidates are combined with tracks passing a loose cut on dE/dx around the electron band. The invariant mass for a pair of photonic electrons is small.

11 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 11 All Tracks Inclusive electron Non-photonic electronPhotonic electron Reco-photonic electron =OppSign - combinatorics Not-reco-photonic electron =(1/eff-1)*(reco- photonic) Pass EID cuts Procedure to Extract the Signal of e-h Correlations Semi-inclusive electron Signal: non-photonic = semi-inclusive +combinatorics-(1/eff-1)*reco-photonic Each item has its own corresponding Δφ histogram.

13 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 13 Use PYTHIA Curves to Fit Data Points Fit function: R*PYTHIA_B+(1-R)*PYTHIA_D R is B contribution, i.e. B/(B+D), as a parameter in fit function. B D

14 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 14 B/(B+D) consistent varying fit range. Use PYTHIA Curves to Fit Data Points

15 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 15 Preliminary Results: B Contribution.VS. p T Error bars are statistical only! Data uncertainty includes statistic errors and systematic uncertainties from: ---- photonic background reconstruction efficiency (dominant). ---- difference introduced by different fit functions. Preliminary data is within the range that FONLL calculation predicts. Non-zero B contribution is observed.

16 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 16  Non-photonic electron and charged hadron correlations are sensitive to D and B contributions to non-photonic electrons.  We have measured e-h correlations in 200 GeV p+p collisions.  The preliminary data indicates at p T ~ 4-6 GeV/c the measured B contribution to non-photonic electrons is comparable to D contribution based on PYTHIA model.  Our measurement of B/(B+D) provides a constraint to the FONLL prediction.

18 Xiaoyan LinQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai, Nov. 14-20, 2006 18 Δφ non-pho = Δφ semi-inc + Δφ combinatorics - Δφ not-reco-pho = Δφ semi-inc + Δφ combinatorics - (1/eff -1) *Δφ reco-pho-no-partner Method to Extract the Signal of e-h Correlations non-pho. e = semi-incl. e +combinatorics - not-reco-pho. = semi-incl. e +combinatorics - (1/eff-1)*reco-pho. Note Δφ not-reco-pho = (1/eff -1) *Δφ reco-pho-no-partner ! Δφ reco-pho-no-partner is the reco-pho after removing the conversion partner. The photonic background has two parts: reco-pho and not-reco-pho. In electron yield or v 2 analysis, the not-reco-pho part can just be calculated by reco-photonic part after an efficiency correction, i.e. not-reco-photonic = (1/eff-1)*reco-pho. However, in e-h correlation analysis, that is different. The reco-pho electron means we find the conversion partner, while the not-reco-pho electron means we miss the conversion partner. The resulting e-h correlations for these two parts are different. If we use reco-pho part to calculate the not-reco-pho part, we have to remove the conversion partner of reco-pho part.
