Type I π0 analysis procedure

Mass, energy and transverse momentum are reconstructed from the energies and impact positions of photon pairs measured by each calorimeter

Analysis Procedure • Standard photon reconstruction• Event selection

- one photon in each calorimeter- reconstructed invariant mass

• Background subtraction by using outer region of mass peak

• Unfolding for detector response. • Acceptance correction.

Acceptance for π0 at LHCf-Arm1Validity check of unfolding method

• Remaining background spectrum is estimated using the sideband information, then the BG spectrum is subtracted from the spectrum obtained in the signal window.

• Raw distributions are corrected for detector responses by an unfolding process that is based on the iterative Bayesian method.(G. D’Agostini NIM A 362 (1995) 487)

• Detector response corrected spectrum is then corrected for acceptance

π0 results: Data/MCSubmitted to PRD (arXiv:1205.4578).

Page 10: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Data/MC commented

dpmjet 3.04 & pythia 8.145 show overall agreement with LHCf data for 9.2<y<9.6 and pT <0.25 GeV/c, while the expected p0 production rates by both models exceed the LHCf data as pT becomes large

sibyll 2.1 predicts harder pion spectra than data, but the expected p0 yield is generally small

qgsjet II-03 predicts p0 spectra softer than LHCf data

epos 1.99 shows the best overall agreement with the LHCf data.

behaves softer in the low pT region, pT < 0.4GeV/c in 9.0<y<9.4 and pT <0.3GeV/c in 9.4<y<9.6

behaves harder in the large pT region.

Page 11: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

<pT> distribution

Three different approaches used to derive the average transverse momentum, ⟨pT⟩1. by fitting an empirical function

to the pT spectra in each rapidity range (exponential distribution based on a thermodynamical approach)

2. By fitting a gaussian distribution

3. by simply numerically integrating the pT spectra

Results of the three methods are in agreement and are compared with UA7 data and hadronic model predictions.

Two UA7 and LHCf experimental data show the same trend→ no evident dependence of <pT> on ECMS.

Why neutron measurement is important for CR physics

Auger hybrid analysis• event-by-event MC

selection to fit FD data (top plot)

• comparison with SD data vs MC (bottom plot)

• Clear muon excess in data even for Fe primary MC

The number of muons increases with the increase of the number of baryons! => importance of direct baryon measurement

Beam test at Ion facility (HIMAC) has been done in June 2012

Arm1 has been re-assembled in Florence starting from end of June

Same procedure will be followed in 2013 for the Arm2 detector Upgrade of the silicon positioning measurement system

Rearranging Silicon layers for independent precise energy measurement Increase the dynamic range to reduce saturation effects

Beam test at the SPS

Long beam test has been conducted from August 17th to September 4th in the H2 SPS area Muons, 50-250 GeV electrons, 350 GeV protons More than 1 TB of data

Main goals: Energy scale of upgraded Arm1 detector Check of energy scale of not upgraded Arm2 for the p/Pb

run Test of the solution to improve the silicon saturation for

14 TeV run Check of the temperature dependence of the absolute

energy scale both for Arm1 and Arm2

Very successful beam test!

Page 27: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Test of new silicon pattern bonding

Problem: saturation of the silicon electronics for Eg > 1.5 TeV Pace3 dynamic range is not enough to sustain such

a huge energy release Not a problem for 3.5+3.5 TeV runs

Software corrections based on the different PACE3 samples allow to increase saturation up to 2.5/3 TeV

Become an issue for 7+7 TeV run We will change the silicon sensors position to improve

the silicon only energy resolution…. We developed a new idea to hardware improve the

saturation level

Temperature test and control at SPS

During the beam test, we carefully controlled the temperature of the detector with a chiller

We waited for some hours until the temperature was very stable (< 0.1 degree / hour)

Energy scale temperature dependence(Arm2)

The temperature coefficient is consistent with the R7400U catalog value (-0.20% /C)

We could confirm that there is a dependence of energy scale on the temperature.Compatible with 3.8% mass shift???? To be checked

Page 34: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Re-installation for the p/Pb run

Arm2 will be re-installed in the TAN during the technical stop foreseen at the end of the p/p run

We have modified the LHCf support structure and cabling to significantly reduce the installation required time

The procedure for reinstallation  has been carefully discussed in the LTEX meetings and is ready Checked with RP RP gave green light

We are continuing discussions with ATLAS for trigger and data exchange, to get the maximum physics outcome for the data, following the LHCC recommendation

Arm2 will be brought back to Florence after the p/Pb run completion (special transport will be necessary because of the slight radioactivity)

Miscellanea…. I

Possibility to use LIGHT IONS in LHC from 2016/2017? Light Ion source setup is ongoing because of SPS

interest RHIC run in 2015/2016 was under discussion… Please stand by a little bit to see how things are

evolving!!!!

We have a new Japanese expert post doc that will stay in Italy for 2 years paid by Japan

Page 38: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Miscellanea II:Working together with MC model developers

Since the first paper we are in strict connection with model developers (EPOS,QGSJET, SYBILL etc.) We have taken part to several meetings/workshops We are contributing to the tuning of the model to LHCf

data

We are also involved in the MCPLOTS/RIVET project (http://mcplots.cern.ch) a simple browsable repository of MC (Monte Carlo) plots

comparing High Energy Physics event generators to a wide variety of available experimental data, for tuning and reference purposes

Page 39: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Miscellanea III:Working together with other LHC MC contacts

Since last year we are involved in one of the WG of the MC4LHC project

A new WG is now starting to focus on astroparticle physics connection with contact persons from each LHC experiments A. Tricomi, T. Sako Set up and organize a workshop

Page 40: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Miscellanea IV: LHCf computing

Lo scorso anno abbiamo presentato un piccolo modello di calcolo per far fronte alle esigenze di simulazione e ricostruzione di LHCf per il run p-Pb di cui siamo responsabili I referee ci hanno finanziato una parte di quello richiesto rimandando a

quest’anno la seconda parte a fronte di stime più precise per consentirci la produzione dei plot per la LOI

Il data set per la LOI è stato prodotto interamente in Italia e le tre macchine acquistate sono state fondamentali

Abbiamo fatto i primi test di simulazione completa con p-Pb 500 KB per evento e 570 sec/evento con la simulazione completa 20 KB per evento e 22 sec/evento se applichiamo dei tagli cinematici abbastanza

duri (eccessivi per quello che vorremmo fare) Una via di mezzo tra queste due, dell'ordine dei 100 KB e 100 sec/evento e' quella

piu' realistica senza perdere informazioni di fisica rilevanti.

Noi abbiamo bisogno di produrre come minimo 107 eventi per ciascuno dei modelli studiati (finora 5)

Poichè le stime dello scorso anno, basate sulla sola generazione erano ben più ottimistiche di quello che abbiamo ottenuto ora, chiediamo il completamento delle risorse. Per il disco cercheremo di utilizzare risorse presenti in sezione ma abbiamo bisogno di CPU dedicate 15 Keuro per l’acquisto delle CPU

Page 41: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Miscellanea V: Missioni estere

Ad Aprile 2012 la CSN1 ci aveva sbloccato 35 kE di Missioni Estere che erano SJ al run p/Pb

Dato che il run p/Pb è stato spostato al 2013, restituiamo alla CSN1 27 kE di ME (21 kE da Firenze e 6 kE da Catania) Cerchiamo di effettuare più lavori possibile nel 2012

Setup di control room e DAQ Test di interfaccia con la macchina Installazione meccanica nel tunnel

Con la ragionevole speranza che ci vengano riassegnati per il 2013!!!!!!

Page 42: LHCf: stato e programmi Oscar Adriani CSN1,Torino, 27 settembre 2012.

Conclusions

The analysis work is nicely going on Very important and tight contacts with the theorists and

the model developers to maximize the outcome of the LHCf results

Arm1 upgrade has been completed Arm2 is ready to be installed for the 2013 p/Pb run Very successful test beam has been completed in

summer 2012 Arm2 upgrade will be completed in 2013 Ready to take data at 14 TeV And…. Possible Light Ions runs at RHIC/LHC are under

investigation
