Deuteron photodisintegration data analysis
Home Page ] Back ] Next ]

 

The data is from runs 20140  and 20111 (1 file) for a total of 547.291 triggers. The photon hits were taken from the TAGR bank using the ones with status 7 and 15. For status 15 hits (that is multiple hits on the tagger) the photon into  into the ST time distribution (+/- 5ns) were considered.
With these cuts the total number of reconstructed photons is 255.960 (47%).
Only the PART bank was considered with the condition that the quality factor for the neutrals different from 999999.
The good events are 34% of the total number of triggers.

Black Line = all (fast) proton events;
Red Line = (Black line)   with proton TBT vertex  from the target region
Green Line = (Red line) with only one charged track in the final state;

paw011.gif (12548 bytes) Missing mass for gamma d -> p X(n) versus teta in the CLAS system. The photodisintegation events are along the line corresponding to the neutron mass. The diagonal line starting from the ~1.2 GeV corresponds to events in which the final state is composed by a fast nucleon which had interaction with the gamma and a pion (the other nucleon is not detected). This is in agreement with the MC simulations.

paw027.gif (6137 bytes) Momentum of the 2gamma invariant mass as a function of the teta angle of the 2 gammas in the CLAS system. The solid line represents the maximum of the Pi0 momentum distribution (calculated from (m(pi0)^2)/(8 P(pi0) E(pi0)) / ( sen^3(teta/2) * sqrt(sen^2(teta/2)-(m(pi0)/E(pi0))^2)) )) as a function of teta.
