Tag bias: stability wrt tag kine selection

• Stability of tag-bias value wrt the cut around the “p* 2-body peak” • Select events with a n- cut around the peak: 236 MeV for K2, -trig 205 MeV for K2, 0-trig• TB stable within the errors (now: 3 cut for both Ke3 and K3).

• Difference at the 0.1 % level (0.14% for K and 0.06% for K)• First check of the reliability of Tag-bias measurement for what concern Emc-global-trigger.

•Define: EMC=1 P(Tag=1)P(DarkSide=0) where:

- P(Tag=1): probability for the selected “Tag Emisphere” of firing only one trigger sector (here the -cluster)

- P(DarkSide=0): probability for “the rest of the event” (included machine bkg clusters) of not firing any sectors

Trigger: “Two-emisphere method”-2•The “division of the event” has a degree of arbitrarity which can be kept under control defining a MAX and a min probability for the selected list of clusters: P P; with P = PMAX PMin

• Good agreement within the errors between MC and Data• Reliability of the method: 0.8% of difference wrt the MC truth• Correcting data with factor C = EMC(MC)/EMC(MCtruth) we get EMC(Data) values in very good agreement with Mctruth.

• Good check of trigger effectson tag-bias evaluation.

Cosmic ray veto – T3 correction

• The correction factor C can be evaluated directly on data, using T3 and Cosmic veto flags.

Ke3 K3

• CT is evaluated in each Tag sample separately.• To evaluated CS a raw cut is applied in the m2 distribution to separate Ke3 and K3 events.• C is of the order of 0.1% for all samples.• The contribution to the final error is negligible (104)

Single photon efficiency-1

• Select events with K2 or K2 tag.• Unbias for the trigger: require Emc-trigger to - or 0-clusters, following the tag.• Ask for a K2 selection (p* cut) in the signal side. • Get 0 from the missing momentum at vertex.• Look for a 0-photon from the vertex, excluding clusters already used by the tag or connected to a track.

Page 15: Barbara Sciascia

15 Barbara Sciascia October, 26th - LNF

Single photon efficiency-2

• Starting with K2+ selection, estimate the energy and the position of the “other photon”. • Look for a cluster close to the other photon.• “Close to” criteria: 1- distance between cluster and estimated position. 2- opening angle between estimated and cluster direction from the vertex.

Page 16: Barbara Sciascia

16 Barbara Sciascia October, 26th - LNF

Single photon efficiency-3

• Measurement o the single photon efficiency as a function of estimated energy ot the photon, separately for different tags (K2 or K2) and charges.• The efficiency behaviour at high energy (similar to the KL0 measurement) indicate a not correct acceptance definition.

Page 17: Barbara Sciascia

17 Barbara Sciascia October, 26th - LNF

Single photon efficiency-4

• 40 pb-1 of 2002 Data and 2002 MC all_phys have been used.

• Data and MC have different resolutions in p* and in cluster selection variables.

Conclusions

• The tag bias is stable wrt the kinematical cut applied for the selection of the different tag samples.• A first study of the trigger efficiency for K events has been presented, using two different metod. The agreement between MC and Data is very good within the errors• The evaluation of the correction due to the cosmic veto has been presented.• Work is in progress for the 0 efficiency: single-photon efficiency correction applied on MC.•The NEW KPM04 MC reduces the MC statistics contribution to the BR measurements by a factor 3.• The study of the systematics related to efficiency determination has to be completed, taking correlations into account.

• The low component of the 0 momentum spectrum for Kl3 events span a region of E

min which is fully contained in the Emin

range of K decays.• Plenty of statistics to minimize contribution to efficiency error.

• The errors on Kl3 BR measurements are at 2% level.• They are dominated by the Kpm MC statistics • As an example: BR(K+e3) = (4.8xx 0.110)% with: 0.110 % (0.033 0.102 0.025)%

A note on Kpm MC statistics

• A Kpm-MC campaign with 1/1 MC statistics wrt to Data will lower the MC sample contribution to the error from 2% to 0.5%

KPW04 - Conclusions• A selection has been presented aiming at measuring absolute Kl3 BR, on a sample of K2 tagged decays.• The signal events has selected using a ToF technique (m2

lept spectrum is obtained).• Further kinematic cuts are applied to reduce residual background contamination.• Result of the fit on the m2

lept spectrum gives a yield of 200k Ke3

decays on the whole 2001-2002 data sample.• Selection efficiency is taken from MC, with DATA/MC correction for what concern K+Vtx+Trk, TCA and 0 efficiencies.• The contributions to the fractional error on BR(Ke3) are 0.6% from the fit and 1% from the efficiency• A first attempt has been performed in order to extract the slope of the form factor + from a fit of the Dalitz plot of Ke3 decay.• The study of the systematics related to efficiency determination has to be completed, taking correlations into account.
