Photon discrimination simulation with the PCA method

The shower shape of n,n,p,p,K+,π+ and photons,generated by JPCIAE code for 5.5 TeV/A 208Pb+208Pb collisions,incident on the ALICE photon spectrometer(PHOS),is analyzed with the principal component analysis(PCA) method.The efficiency dependence of purity for the photon discrimination is simulated for the deposited energy ranges 0.5-2 GeV,2-10 GeV,10-50 GeV and 50-100 GeV.The result shows that in the energy range of 0.5 to 100 GeV,the efficiency of the photon identification can reach 90% with purity of 90%.     

High pt and photon physics with ALICE at LHC

ALICE,A Large Ion Collider Experiment,is dedicated to study the QCD matter at extreme high temperature and density to understand the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) and phase transition.High-transversemomentum photons and neutral mesons from the initial hard scattering of partons can be measured with ALICE calorimeters,PHOS (PHOton Spectrometer) and EMCAL (ElectroMagnetic CALorimeter).Combing the additional central tracking detectors,the γ-jet and π 0-jet measurements thus can be accessed.These measurements offer us a sensitive tomography probe of the hot-dense medium generated in the heavy ion collisions.In this paper,high p T and photon physics is discussed and the ALICE calorimeters capabilities of high-transverse-momentum neutral mesons and γ-jet measurements are presented.

用PCA方法模拟光子鉴别

The shower shape of n, n^-, p, p^-, K^＋, π^＋ and photons, generated by JPCIAE code for 5.5 TeV/A ^208pb＋^208pb collisions, incident on the ALICE photon spectrometer （PHOS）, is analyzed with the principal component analysis （PCA） method. The efficiency dependence of purity for the photon discrimination is simulated for the deposited energy ranges 0.5-2 GeV, 2-10 GeV, 10-50 GeV and 50-100 GeV. The result shows that in the energy range of 0.5 to 100 GeV, the efficiency of the photon identification can reach 90% with purity of 90%.
