  2. Hadronic Vacuum Polarization and Muon (g–2) Contributions to the Standard Model (SM) Prediction: Dominant uncertainty from lowest order hadronic piece. Cannot be calculated from QCD (“first principles”) – but:we can use experiment Im[ ]  | hadrons |2 had  ”Dispersion relation“  had   ... Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  3. Goals of the Analysis • Measure R=   pt (also RKK) with high accuracy for vacuum polarization calculations, using the ISR method •  channel contributes 73% of ahad • Dominant uncertainty also from  • Also important to increase precision on (MZ2) (EW tests, ILC) • Present systematic precision of ee experiments CMD-2 0.8% SND 1.5% in agreement KLOE (ISR from 1.02 GeV) 1.3% some deviation in shape • Big advantage of ISR: all mass spectrum covered at once, from threshold to 4-5 GeV, with same detector and analysis • Interesting to compare to spectral functions from  decays discrepancy /e+e evaluations (3.0  1.1)%  aim for a measurement with <1% accuracy Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  6. The Measurement • ISR photon at large angle in EMC • 1 (for efficiency) or 2 (for physics) tracks of good quality • identification of the charged particles • separate pp/KK/mm event samples • kinematic fit (not using ISR photon energy) including 1 additional photon • obtain all efficiencies (trigger, filter, tracking, ID, fit) from same data • measure ratio of ppg(g) to mmg(g) cross sections to cancel ee luminosity additional ISR vacuum polarization ISR photon efficiency • still need to correct for |FSR|2 contribution in mmg(g) and additional FSR, both calculated in QED, but also checked in data (ISR-FSR interference, additional detected photons) otherwise 3-4% syst error Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  7. PEP-II is an asymmetric e+ecollider operating at CM energy of (4S). Integrated luminosity = 531 fb-1 BaBar / PEP II BaBar EMC: • 6580 CsI(Tl) crystals, resolution ~1-2 % high E. BaBar IFR: • resistive plate chambers • BaBar DIRC • particle ID up to 4-5 GeV/c • BaBar SVT and DCH • precision tracking Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  8. Analysis Steps 230.8 fb-1 (U(4S) on-peak & off peak) • Geometrical acceptance • Triggers (L1 hardware, L3 software), background-filter efficiencies • Tracking efficiency • Particle ID matrix (ID and mis-ID efficiencies)   K • Kinematic fitting reduce non 2-body backgrounds 2 cut efficiency additional radiation (ISR and FSR) secondary interactions • Unfolding of mass spectra • Consistency checks for  (QED test, ISR luminosity) and  • Unblinding R • Results on  cross section and calculation of dispersion integral Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  9. MC Generators • Acceptance and efficiencies determined initially from simulation, with data/MC corrections applied • Large simulated samples, typically 10  data, using AfkQed generator • AfkQed: lowest-order QED with additional radiation: ISR with structure function method,  assumed collinear to the beams and with limited energy FSR using PHOTOS • Phokhara 4.0: exact second-order QED matrix element, no more radiation • Studies comparing Phokhara and AfkQed at 4-vector level with fast simulation Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  10. Particle-related Efficiency Measurements tag particle (track, ID) γISR candidate (p, , φ) • benefit from pair production for particle ID • kinematically constrained events • efficiency automatically averaged over running periods • measurement in the same environment as for physics, in fact same events! • applied to particle ID with p/K/m samples, tracking, study of secondary interactions… • assumes that efficiencies of the 2 particles are uncorrelated • in practice not true  this is where 95% of the work goes! • study of 2-particle overlap in the detector (trigger,tracking, EMC, IFR) required • a large effort to reach per mil accuracies (hence the duration of the analysis) Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  11. Data/MC Tracking Correction to ppg,mmg cross sections • single track efficiency • correlated loss probability f0 • probability to produce more than 2 tracks f3 and similarly for pp mmm mpp Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  19. 2 cut Efficiency Correction loose c2 • depends on simulation of ISR (FSR), resolution effects (mostly ISR  direction) for mm and pp • c2 cut efficiency can be well measured in mm data because of low background • main correction from lack of angular distribution for additional ISR in AfkQed • common correction: 1% for loose c2, 7% for tight c2 • additional loss for pp because of interactions studied with sample of interacting events agreement data/MC mmgg 1.00  0.16 loose c2 1.07  0.11 tight c2 syst error 0.5-1.5 10-3 Tau08 22-25/9/2008

  22. Unfolding Mass Spectrum • measured mass spectrum distorted by resolution effects and FSR (mpp vs. s’) • unfolding uses mass-transfer matrix from simulation • 2 MeV bins in 0.5-1.0 GeV mass range, 10 MeV bins outside • most salient effect in - interference region (little effect on ampp) Tau08 22-25/9/2008
