1. RICH upgrade simulation: updates S.Easo 11-2-2015 RICH upgrade-mechanics meeting 1

2.  PID results : cross-checking with different software versions Outline 2 LHCb tracking PID tuning

3. LHCb Tracking 2012-13 (TDR studies): No ‘upgrade tracking’ available for RICH studies Used current LHCb tracking geometry + different versions of RICH upgrade geometry Not a perfect, but a practical solution at the time.  2014 : ‘Upgrade tracking’ became available, so started using it for RICH. 2014 Feb : Upgrade/current tracking comparisons in terms of PID. Track quality parameters were not available. So assumed all long tracks are ‘good tracks’ as a first step.  2015 : Track ghost probability parameter available, Used this to filter the upgrade tracks used for RICH.  This talk: PID with some of the above tracking setups. They all use same PYTHIA (generator) and beam configurations. So expect only minor variations of performance among them. RICH performance depends on the tracks input to RICH. 3

4. Simulation Configuration  Gauss v47r0p1, Boole 29r3, Brunel v47r4  Tracking : Recent version as in Brunel v47r4 for upgrade/current LHCb  Luminosity : Lumi20 ( 2X 10 34 cm 2 s -1 ), no spillover  B s   events  RICH Optics: 4 ROC 3800 mm, 3600 mm, 3650 mm With/without photon plane shift of 100 mm. Current standard setup in software: ROC 3800mm, no plane shift RICH2 : large+ small pmts  PID Tuning: Current/Old tuning. Current tuning is default.

9. 9 SUMMARY and PLANS  Using latest version of software for RICH upgrade.  Various cross-checks made with previous versions and results look consistent with each other.  Plans Flat mirror size tune Long term: Rebuild the PMT array with Elementary cells.
