  1. Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Raiders of the lost photons Elisabetta Bissaldi University & INFN Trieste, Italy SLAC, USA

  2. Outline • Introduction • Photon selection with MC algorithm • Results from cosmic ray data for integrated 2, 4 and 6 towers configurations • Study of vertex topologies • Summary

  3. Photons 2 tracks = VERTEX Muons NO VERTEX ? g Topologies for Dummies g m W W SI SI SI SI e+ e- In TkrRecon: 1 track ≡ VERTEX

  4. g Topologies in real life Often one of the 2 tracks is missing! No Si hits No Si hits (edge) Narrow separation Short track Compton angle scattering W W SI SI SI SI W W W SI SI SI SI SI SI

  5. Original idea... • Bill Atwood’s talk presented at the 3rd IA Workshop in march 2005 • Develop g finding algorithm: • Classification trees • Monte Carlo samples • AllGamma • Surface Muons • Cosmic ray data sample • Test RUN 140001338 for single tower  g candidates sample (5% of triggers)

  6. MC for 1 tower configuration Developed Initial selection cuts Defined 2 g topologies Developed algorithm classification trees Applied algorithm in data MC for 2, 4, 6 towers configurations Same Used only 1 g topology Searched for simple cuts using main variables Applied cuts in data Studied vertex topologies BB Challenge BILL BETTA More details in the next slides...

  7. Same Focus on first g topology VtxAngle > 0. “VERTEX” Same Initial conditions TkrNumTracks > 0 CalEnergySum > 10 MeV Definition of 2 g topologies 3. VtxAngle > 0. VtxAngle ≡ 0. “VERTEX” “1TRACK” Tkr1ToTFirst > 1 MIP Initial selections W W W SI SI SI SI SI SI

  8. Track projection Found track Calorimeter Electronics Additional variables • Tkr1SSDVeto > 1 • Use Tracker in self Veto Mode to replace ACD • At least one hit plane before start of track • same

  9. Bill’s Classification Trees Variables used to select g: • Tkr1ToTTrAve • Tkr1Chisq • Tkr1SSDVeto • Tkr1TotFirst • Tkr2Chisq • Tkr2FirstChisq • CalEnergySum VERTEX TOPOLOGY * * From Bill’s talk

  29. Summary • Developed a simple algorithm to select g in cosmic ray data using Bill’s analysis as a starting point • Learned about how different the g topologies are from the simple picture from pair conversion • Future Work:  Possibility to use the selected g sample to study the behaviour of the detector with different register configurations  Depending on the physics analysis, we may be more interested in selected vertex topologies • Explore this further in my thesis • Analysis of reprocessed 4, 6 and 8 towers in progress...
