TSF data/MC comparison study

      Further study on the hit efficiency suggested to look at
       Ghit charge distributions and use it as a tool to adjust the efficiency.

      The following plots show a comparison between data and MC using Bhabha event and run16802.
      The data charge was scaled by a factor of 11.8 and one plot was normalized to the other.


      As we see from the previous plots the Ghit charge distribution is narrower than the data.
     This is an expected Landau charge distribution in thin absorber or gas.
     In order to simulate the right charge distribution that include for example electronic noise,
      I applied Gaussian smearing to the Ghit charge. The amount of smearing was studied by comparing the Ghit
     charge distribution from flat bhabha events from MC (generated with 8.8.0g) and data run 16802.
     Eventually 30% smearing was applied in order to have a match as can be seen in the following plots.

      To make sure the charge distribution well describe the physics I looked at few different momentum ranges
     for a particular path length range.
      The next plots show charge and charge divided by the path length distributions
      for hadronic events with path length between 1 < path < 2 cm but for different monentum ranges.
      I study different momentum regions of the dE/dx where we expect different beta dependence
      in order to test the smeared charge distribution

      The first two plots are in momentum range of 0.1 < P <0.15 GeV


      The following plots are in momentum range 0.3 < P < 0.9 GeV


      The following plots are in momentum range 2. < P < 6. GeV


      In addition I have looked at Bhabha events with very long path length 3 < path < 4 cm .
      In this case there not too many events I compared data and MC for momentum rage of 2. < P <6. GeV


      The last one is for path length between 2 < path < 3 cm and mometum between 0.1 < P < 5.GeV


      The Gaussian smearing allowed us to have a resolution for particles in agreement with true data,
       especially for low charge particles that we are going to use as our parameter to reject hit.
      The charge smearing was added as section criteria in trgDC with 5 new tcl parameters to adjust the hit efficiency.
       In the following I have done TSF data/MC comparison selecting hadronic events,
      the new hit efficiency is shown for data 16802 and MC generated with 8.8.0h


      The new scaling for the lower voltage data is 6.86
       The following plots are comparison between data/MC selecting hadronic events for data 12396
       and the MC bbgeneric generated with 8.8.0h the hit efficiency


      It looks like smearing the charge and adjusting the efficiency depending on the charge only is not sufficient.

      The reasons might be:

  1. The charge smearing cuased the lost of the theta dependency information since the smearing was too.
  2. The cut should have path length and beta dependency
  3. Smearing differently for different path length gives reasnable charge distribution
    bhabha data-MC charge distribution. but it was not tested as a cut in trgDC yet
       An interesting point to check is Is there any gain differences between the different SL
      In the following we have profile histogram of the charge for every super layer (run 16802)

      We dont see any large differences in gain for the different super layer and the changes vesus phi seem statistical.
      Since we saw that the efficiency to get a good segment coming close to the interaction point and going stright up in the MC
      is better than in the data.
      The question is there gain differences between the different layers that is not simulated in the MC
      and cuase a inefficiencies to weight equal to 3 segments. (run 16802)
      The answer to this question is selfexplanetory in the next plot studied with run 16802


       For run 12396 which had lower voltage
