1 Particle identification by energy loss measurement in the NA61 (SHINE) experiment Magdalena Posiadala University of Warsaw

2 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 2 Outline: ► Energy loss measurements in NA61 experiment at CERN ► Energy loss parametrisation ► Methods of Particle Identification in NA61 in the region of interest for the T2K. ► Energy loss measurement in the region below 1GeV/c  Two methods of approach to analysis:  Method 1 – fits done using TMinuit package  Method 2- using probability functions

3 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 3 NA61 (SHINE) detector Ar+ CO 2 (90:10)(95:5) TPCs are filled with mixtures of Ar+ CO 2 (90:10) for VTPCs and (95:5) for MTPCs Max 72 points Max 90 points

4 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 4 Energy loss measurement ► The optimization of the parameters required for the determination of energy loss in the TPCs was performed using the method developed by NA49. (For details see Eur. Phys. J, C45 (2006) 343) ► Corrections for the following effects were applied during the calibration of the NA61 data:  signal loss due to threshold cuts; corrections were obtained using Monte Carlo calculations for gas mixture used in NA61,  time dependence of the TPC gas pressure,  residual time dependence of the measurements (day/night),  charge absorption during the drift,  differences in the TPC sector gain factors,  differences in the amplification of the preamplifiers and edge effects at sectors boundaries.

19 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 19 Smearing with Gaussian theoretical distributions of energy loss ► For whole tracks we can calculate theoretical energy loss dE/dx teor using track total momentum and applied parametrisation functions. ► In this way we get theoretical distribution of energy loss in momentum bins (see example plot on the right). ► Smearing with Gaussian function dE/dx data Example ->

Needs further improvements (  /K ratio parameterised by function)

43 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 43 Summary ► The resolution  dE/dx strongly depends on number of points per track. For tracks passing through all TPCs the resolution at the level of 4 - 5%. ► NA61 data cover acceptance in p,  variables for the T2K experiment. ► Important dE/dx analysis below 1 GeV/c region. ► Presented two methods towards raw particle yields ► Method 1 –>making fits using TMinuit package ► Method 2 with probability functions still needs improvement- >approaching towards max log-likelihood.

44 "Neutrino physics at accelerators", JINR, Dubna 27-30.01.2009 44 Further steps ► On the right relative error vs energy loss distribution is presented. ► Next step is to smear theoretical lines with Gaussians that have error equal to relative error of dedx and see how it influences the presented results
