Electron identification performance withALICETRDprototypes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the electron/pion identification performance measured with prototypes for ALICE TRD. Measured spectra of energy deposit of pions and electrons as well as their average values are presented and compared to calculations. Various radiators are investigated over the momentum range of 1 to 6 GeV/c. The time signature of TR is exploited in a bidimensional likelihood mothod.

Electron Identification in Belle
We report on electron identification methods and their performance in the Belle experiment at the KEK-B asymmetric B-Factory e+e− storage ring. Electrons are selected using a likelihood approach that takes information from the electromagnetic calorimeter, the central drift chamber, and the silica aerogel Cherenkov counters as input. We achieve an electron identification efficiency of (92.4±0.4)...
متن کاملPrototype tests for the ALICE TRD
A Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) has been designed to improve the electron identification and trigger capability of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We present results from tests of a prototype of the TRD concerning pion rejection for different methods of analysis over a momentum range from 0.7 to 2 GeV/c. We investigate the performance of different radiator...
متن کاملNeural Network based Electron Identification in the ZEUS Calorimeter
We present an electron identification algorithm based on a neural network approach applied to the ZEUS uranium calorimeter. The study is motivated by the need to select deep inelastic, neutral current, electron proton interactions characterized by the presence of a scattered electron in the final state. The performance of the algorithm is compared to an electron identification method based on a...
متن کاملElectron performance measurements with the ATLAS detector using the 2010 LHC proton-proton collision data
Detailed measurements of the electron performance of the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported, using decays of the Z, W and J/ψ particles. Data collected in 2010 at √ s = 7 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of almost 40 pb−1. The inter-alignment of the inner detector and the electromagnetic calorimeter, the determination of the electron energy scale and resolution, and t...
متن کاملElectron/Pion Identification with ALICE TRD Prototypes using a Neural Network Algorithm
We study the electron/pion identification performance of the ALICE Transition RaPreprint submitted to Elsevier Science 29 June 2005 diation Detector (TRD) prototypes using a neural network (NN) algorithm. Measurements were carried out for particle momenta from 2 to 6GeV/c. An improvement in pion rejection by about a factor of 3 is obtained with NN compared to standard likelihood methods.
