I am still working on reproducing the Cahn effect implementation in the event generator in my weighting program. In the event generator, the effect is applied by:

2 continue
phi=rlu(0)*twopi
dstr=y11-cahn1*cos(phi)+cahn2*cos(2.*phi)
if(dstr/cahnmax .lt. rlu(0)) goto 2
phiq=phi
return

Here rlu(0) returns a random number between 0 and 1, which is converted to a random φ by multiplying by 2π. y11, cahn1, and cahn2 are calculated as functions of y, P_T and Q², and cahnmax = y11+cahn1+2*cahn2.

To reproduce the above loop, I impliment it as follows into my own program:

while(dstr/cahnmax < rlu){
rlu = (double) rand()/RAND_MAX;
randphi = rlu*2*PI;
dstr = y11 - cahn1*cos(randphi)+cahn2*cos(2*randphi);
}

Here all quantities are calculated exactly as above. rand() returns a random number between 0 and RAND_MAX, so dividing by RAND_MAX makes it the same as rlu(0) in the Lund function. When the weighting is applied using this function, the weights come out to be completely flat in φ, as can be seen below.

I am currently investigating the following:

rlu(0) is called twice in the Fortran loop. Does it give a different random number each time, or is it somehow fixed for an iteration of the loop?
What is phiq? It seems to not be used again in the program after it is set in the loop. Maybe it is passed into a variable with a different name?
In order for the weight to get a φ dependence, it seems that I should use the random φ as the φ for the event (and maybe this is the phiq?), but this seems like it must be wrong. How can I measure φ dependence if I am not looking at the same φ?

Here the red points are the data applying the weighting procedure above.

I am still working on understanding how the Cahn effect is included in the clasDIS event generator. I am using two methods. The first is to go through the clasDIS code to try to better understand how the Cahn effect is included. The second is to go back to the original Cahn paper to see what the analytic function should be.

I have identified a possibility for what I was doing wrong with the weighting method, and I am currently working to properly incorporate that into my weighting procedure. In the clasDIS code, it does not actually weight as a function of φ for the event, but uses a randomly generated φ, and tests to see that the computed weight passes a certain threshhold. I hope that my using the identical procedure in my weighting program, it will accurately reproduce the φ distributions given from the MC. This is still being tested, but I will show results soon.

I hoped that by determining the analytic function of the Cahn effect, this may help to see how the z-dependence is introduced in clasDIS. I have studied Cahn's original paper, and so far the function given by clasDIS does not seem to be in agreement. The following table compares the functions used in clasDIS to that given in the Cahn paper.

	clasDIS	Cahn paper
<cosφ>	4(1-y)^1/2(2-y)P_T/Q	2(1-y)^1/2(2-y)P_T/Q × (1+(1-y)²)^-1z²/(1+z²)
<cos2φ>	4(1-y)P_T²/Q²	2(1-y)P_T²/Q² × (1+(1-y)²)^-1z⁴/(1+z²)²

As you can see, the analytic functions are not the same. Since I am still unsure of how z-dependence is introduced into the MC function, I also compared the analytic curves to the generated φ distribution in fixed bins as was done before. From the plots below, you can see that the Cahn effect intoduced into the program by the MC is significantly larger than that computed based on the function given in Cahn's paper.

November 16, 2011

Using fixed kinematics, I am attempting to determine the z-dependence of the Cahn effect as it is included in the event generator. I fit the distribution in φ due to the Cahn effect in four z bins holding P_T, y, and Q² constant. By fitting the coefficients on the φ function as a function of z, I can estimate the required z-dependence. Many functions of z were attempted, but a 2nd order polynomial has given the closest results.

The first two plots show the coeffictients on cosφ and cos2φ as functions of z, and fit with a 2nd order polynomial.

The next four plots show the comparison of the φ distributions. The black curve is the analytic curve of the Cahn effect using the z-dependence from the above fits. The grey curve is the fit to the φ distribution that is generated with the Cahn effect included.

November 11, 2011

The following are plots of φ for fixed kinematics using the same values of P_T, Q², and y, and two different values of z. The low statistics make it hard to see variations by eye, so the MC data including the Cahn effect are fit to make a comparison. The solid black curve is the analytic function calculated from P_T, Q², and y (It is NOT a fit). Small differences in the analytic function are because the values used for each kinematic variable are the RMS values after the z cuts, so although the cuts on P_T, Q², and y do not change, the RMS can still have a small fluctuation. I am in the prcess of reproducing the two plots below for two different values of z in order to better see the relationship.

November 9, 2011

Below are two plots of the generated φ using very specific kinematics, overlaid with the analysic function of the Cahn effect that is used to weight the flat events. Two kinematic points are compared, both of which show good agreement between the weighted events and the analytic function. The function is a function of P_T, Q², and y. Specific values of P_T and Q² were chosen for each test, and the RMS value of y after the cut is used to compute the Cahn function.

I am in the process of reproducing the above for further fixed kinematic points, including fixed values of z.

November 3, 2011

Below is a comparison of φ binned in z for each of the six sectors in CLAS. At first glance there does not seem to be a large difference between the sectors, but when the data is fit it can be seen that the discrepencies between each sector are very large. The plots below use only the flat φ with no weighting, but a comparison using data generated with the Cahn effect and flat data weighted with the Cahn effect is underway.

2-dimensional plots comparing simulation generated with Cahn effect and simulation generated with a flat φ and weighted with the Cahn effect. Some bins in x and Q² show some small discrepencies between the two procedures and wide values of φ. There are very large discrepancies between the two procedures are large P_T and low z.
- P_T vs. z. Red/blue = Event Weighting, black = Cahn in generator.
- x vs. z.
- Q² vs. z.
Test of manually adding z-dependence to weighting procedure. Multiplying the cos(φ) term by z provides a large improvement in the matching between the simulation generated with the Cahn effect and that generated with flat φ and weighted with the Cahn effect.

October 25, 2011

I am working on an event weighting procedure to mirror the Cahn routing implemented in the event generator. To do so I weight each event from the flat φ distribution with the following function:
q2pt = pt/sqrt(q2)
q2pt2 = pt**2/q2
y1 = (1.-y)
y11 = 1.+y1**2+4.*y1*q2pt2
y12 = sqrt(y1)
y2 = 2.-y
cahn1 = 4.*y12*y2*q2pt
cahn2 = 4.*y1*q2pt2
weight = y11-cahn1*cos(phi)+cahn2*cos(2.*phi)

Events are weighted with the above function, and then compared to both the flat φ distribution and the MC produced with the Cahn Effect. The events weighted with the Cahn effect compare better with events generated with the Cahn effect than to those with a flat φ distribution, but the systemmatic error between the two fits is still too high. I am working on the weighting procedure to see if it can be improved. In particular, the generated φ distributions are different between events weighted with the Cahn effect and those generated with the Cahn effect, so I am trying to understand this difference.

Plots of θ and φ use only the particle identification cuts.

October 17, 2011

Below are plots of kinematic variables between experimental and simulated data. There is a large difference in pion θ, as well as small differences in some other variables. I am currently running my analysis program on simulated data using a momentum-matching algorithm to assure that for each event, the reconstructed pion with the highest energy is coming from the generated pion with the highest energy. Tomorrow I will remake the kinematic plots below to see if this matching algorithm provides any improvement. I am also currently creating histograms to calculate the purity in each bin. Next I will perform the weighting analysis procedure.

October 14, 2011

I fixed a bug in my code that was causing the missing mass cut to not be correctly applied. which greatly improved the φ distributions. For the following plots and fits to φ I used the simulation including the Cahn effect. I am currently running the program on the files simulated with the flat φ distribution for comparison.

These are showing Monte-carlo data that has been reconstructed in GSim, and then corrected with the computed acceptance. We want to see the 2nd row reproducing the 1st row and the 4th row reproducing the 3rd row. I adjusted the range of the fits to only include data points between 30-330^o, ignoring the edges.

The first plot shows data generated with the Cahn effect, and corrected with acceptance including the Cahn effect (returns exactly the generated data).
The second plots shows data generated with the Cahn effect, and corrected with acceptance with no Cahn effect.

Here is a comparison of the kinematics resulting from each simulation. The simulation using the Cahn effect seems to give slightly more events at higher z.

September 26, 2011

I found a bug in my code that was giving incoorect acceptance using the Cahn effect. I fixed it, and replaced the plots posted earlier today. The original plots are here and here. Now the acceptances from the two generated samples are much more similar. Both use 40M generated events.
The first six plots show acceptance in each x bin resulting from data generated using a flat φ and data generated using the Cahn effect.
Here are the generated and reconstructed φ distributions with the Cahn effect included.
Here are fits to the φ distributions using 40M generated events (10% of my total sample) with the Cahn effect included. The minimum acceptance cut is at 2%.

Completed Table 4, which divides each value in table 2 by the corresponding acceptance in table 3, and is observed to return exactly table 1 except for bins where acceptance is below 2%, which are set to zero.

September 21, 2011

Have so far created the first three tables that Kyungseon asked for in email earlier today. The the first two show the number of generated and reconstructed events in each bin using the simulation including the Cahn effect. The third shows the acceptance in each bin.

- Table 2: Reconstructed Events
- Table 3: Acceptance
Working on fits to the φ distributions in each x bin corrected with the flat acceptance for π^-. Following Mauri's suggestion I have been testing a minimum acceptance cut. The following fits with different cuts are as follows:
- Acceptance>0.1%
- Acceptance>0.5%
- Acceptance>1.0%
- Acceptance>2.0%

Here are plots of acceptance for π^- from the flat φ simulation, each as a function of only one kinematic variable z, x, and P_T with φ_h.

September 16, 2011

A recap of yesterday's meeting is here.
Fit the φ distributions from the event generator with the Cahn effect included, which shows larger values of A^cosφ than I expected. The plots are posted here.
Below is the acceptance calculated in one dimension (φ only) for π^- using the MC with a flat φ distribution.

In the first plot, the red is generated and the blue is reconstructed. The second plot shows the acceptance (or the ratio of the two).

The following plot applies the above acceptance to E1-f π^- data.

September 6, 2011

I am currently creating a set of generated data files for using a flat φ distributions. These are running on the batch farm now.
I have modified my program to match Osipenko's binning in z and P_T to make a detailed comparison using the same bins. The program is running to fill the histograms using this binning.
I have been looking at my acceptance calculation and trying to determine the source of the few bins with very large A^cosφ. I examined each bin in the 4-dimensional binning and compared the reconstructed φ distributions from GSim to those in the E1-f dataset [1], and made a list of bins where the distributions did not match. The bins that do not match all lie in the region of z<0.3 and P_T>0.6. There is no noticable dependence on x or Q². I integrated over x and Q² and fit the data in each z, P_T bin. The results are displayed below, showing a trend opposite to my expectation that the low z, high P_T bins would have very large value of A^cosφ. Instead the magnitude of A^cosφ increases with z.

Also, here is a plot of z vs P_t for GSim reconstructed π^-

August 24, 2011

I have updated my φ fits in 4-dimensional binning and when integrated over Q². The plots are shown here:
- Binned in z, x, P_T and Q²
- Binned in z, x, and P_T
Now working on two sets of 2D binning. For the first I integrate over 0.4<z<0.7 and look at x vs P_T binning, and for the second I integrate over x and bin in P_T and z. The second set I will need for comparison to Osipenko's results.

August 18, 2011

I have posted very preliminary fits for my cosφ and cos2φ moments. The fits shown are using the full 4D binning in x, P_T, z, and Q². I am currently going through bin by bin to improve the fits. I also am testing different binning and seeing how much my fits improve if I integrate over Q² and/or z. The fits are posted here.

August 9, 2011

One the web page showing acceptance plots there is now a button to choose the φ range between 0 to 360 or -180 to 180. I found a bug in my π^- ID code that caused the spike at φ=0. I have corrected this and am running my code to refill the histograms. Plots are located here.
