UE measurement in $pp$ at 200 GeV

Experiment: STAR (RHIC)

Spires ID: None

Status: PRELIMINARY

Authors: - Helen Caines - Hendrik Hoeth

References: - arXiv: 0910.5203 - arXiv: 0907.3460

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (100.0, 100.0)GeV

Run details: - $pp$ at 200 GeV

WARNING! Mark as “STAR preliminary” and contact authors when using this! UE analysis similar to Rick Field’s leading jet analysis. SIScone with radius/resolution parameter R=0.7 is used. Particles with $pT > 0.2~\text{GeV}$ and $|\eta| < 1$ are included in the analysis. All particles are assumed to have zero mass. Only jets with neutral energy $< 0.7$ are included. For the transMIN and transMAX $\Delta(\phi)$ is between $\pi/3$ and $2\pi/3$, and $\Delta(\eta) < 2.0$. For the jet region the area of the jet is used for the normalization, i.e. the scaling factor is $\pi R^2$ and not $\mathrm{d}\phi\mathrm{d}\eta$ (this is different from what Rick Field does!). The tracking efficiency is $\sim 0.8$, but that is an approximation, as below $pT \sim 0.6~\text{GeV}$ it is falling quite steeply.
